The much-rumored Gears of War 1 remastered edition for the Xbox One console has just received a brand new leak, this time in the form of an actual gameplay video showcasing a few brief segments from its recent multiplayer beta, not to mention a few screenshots and some GIFs, in case the video gets taken down by Microsoft.

The Gears of War franchise has been around for quite some time, and while developer Epic Games brought it to the Xbox 360 platform many years ago, Microsoft and its Black Tusk Studios team are currently working on an all-new game made specifically for the Xbox One.

However, in recent months, new rumors have surfaced about a remastered version of the first Gears of War title, which is being remade for the Xbox One with an array of visual improvements.

Gears of War 1 remastered is all but confirmed

After seeing a listing from Brazil about a Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, a new leak, via NeoGAF, shows a gameplay video with two different sequences from the recent closed beta.

As you can see, the visuals look pretty good in the footage, the screenshots as well as the GIFs. The gameplay seems to run at a 60fps framerate and boasts some much more impressive visual effects. This becomes even clearer since the original game got launched way back in 2006 for the 360.

It's still a report, however

Unfortunately, however, it's unclear if this leak is legit, especially since neither Microsoft nor Black Tusk is willing to comment on it.

In the past, the studio has shot down rumors about a Gears of War: Marcus Fenix Collection, but declined to say anything about just a remastered version of the original game in the series. Given the popularity of Microsoft's Halo: The Master Chief Collection, it's a possibility that such plans are underway as we speak, in order to set the stage for the all-new game, just like the MCC is doing with Halo 5: Guardians.
