　　"This footage is a byproduct of Epic's internal Unreal Engine 3 testing process, which utilized both Gears and Unreal Tournament, and was never part of any actual product work for PS3," Epic told Kotaku.

　　The latest mainline Gears game, Gears 5, was released in September 2019 for Xbox One and PC. Developer The Coalition is bringing the game to Xbox Series X as a launch title, featuring frame rates up to 120FPS. Outside of the main series, the XCOM-style strategy game Gears Tactics debuted in April.
