Microsoft har nylig kjøpt opp en rekke studioer, som akkurat nå er i gang med å eksperimentere for fullt, men de har fortsatt en rekke kjernestudioer, som er dedikert til én serie. Turn 10 lager Forza, 343 Industries lager Halo, og nå vet vi at The Coalition også er dedikert til Gears of War-serien på lang sikt.
I et intervju med IGN bekrefter Rod Fergusson at selv om de kanskje en dag vil lage noe annet, så er de dedikerte til Gears-serien.
"It's a terrible answer, but it's a 'never say never' thing. We're The Coalition. We wanted to brand ourselves around the franchise. We were looking at Turn 10, and we were looking at 343, and going, 'okay, these are dedicated studios to a dedicated franchise.' And so, we're very dedicated to the Gears of War franchise, but that's not to say we won't do other things."
"But right now, it's really all Gears all the time. The fact that we're able to go to all these different places with the comic books, novels, movies, and three different games- it's a lot."
Gears 5 kommer ut den 10. september.
