How well do you know Gears of War has passed into the hands of Black Tusk study that has already been called super enthusiastic about the task, all the more so with the supervision of Rod Fergusson who worked for years at the franchise with the rest of the team by Epic Games. Microsoft has assured to Edge that the new chapter of one of the most successful sagas on Xbox will be innovative and that will not contain only the classic elements like covers and all those details that animations have made history.

Ken Lobb, creative director for Microsoft Studios, said to have great respect for his fellow Black Tusk, Chuck Osieja: " the reality is that it will be a truly innovative Gears of War. [...] The concept they are working and they are experiencing are extraordinary. Since the Foundation of the study, the guys who work there have always been creativity and were already familiar with the Unreal Engine 4 ".

About the infamous new IP that would have been rejected to make way for Gears, Lobb said that was a decision taken by common agreement and that there was no imposition from upper floors because this is not the method that Microsoft operates.
