Phil Spencer says it was a mistake to retweet a tweet about a "Marcus Phoenix Collection" for Xbox One.

Phil Spencer, who makes the decisions about what games will come to Xbox platforms, recently retweeteda tweet about a "Marcus Fenix Collection" Xbox One bundle that would hypothetically include remastered versions of Gears of War 1-3. Unfortunately, it wasn't a sign that such a bundle is in the works.

Spencer now says it was a "mistake" to retweet the message. That doesn't mean he's not excited about the future of Gears of War, however. "Love the passion for Gears, but no announce," he said.

Though a Marcus Phoenix Collection doesn't appear to be in the cards, Microsoft is planning to release a comprehensive bundle for one of its other major franchises--Halo--next month in the form of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It includes remastered versions of Halo 1-4, among other special perks.

If you're looking to pick up all three Epic Games-developed Gears of War titles in one bundle, you can buy the Gears of War Triple Pack, which was released for Xbox 360 in 2011.

Microsoft acquired the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games earlier this year for an undisclosed sum. Black Tusk Studios, which is owned by Microsoft, is now working on a new Gears of War game for Xbox One. This game is in the very early stages of development, and all we've seen so far from it is a blurry piece of concept art.

It would be pretty stupid not to do a Gears collection, easy money for MS and will help build hype for the next Gears of War.

I'm sure they will make one but probably in a few years.

Only played gears of war 2, it was really fun and I would love to see a collection of the series actually be made.

I think we'll see a Gears and Fable collection eventually.

Great games that can benefit from the new specs. I'd love to see Gears in 60 fps. Every Fable game runs like crap on the 360, so it needs to be on X1.

Original Gears gameplay is kind of dated now tbh. I think they would need to do some serious changes to have it stand shoulder to shoulder with the biggest action games today.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
