Gears of War ligger nå i utviklerhendene til Black Tusk, og nye detaljer om det kommende Xbox One-spillet har dukket opp i form av stillingsannonser. Søken etter en lead writer avslører blant annet at vi vil få se et historietungt Gears of War neste gang:
"We are looking for a seasoned storyteller who can help us bring Microsoft's next big IP to life. This individual will help us develop the characters, story arc, emotional tone, pacing, dialogue, and flavor of a story that will shape the spirit of this new franchise."
Vi får også vite at Microsoft kan komme til å implementere støtte for Smartglass i denne stillingsannonsen for en Senior Online Engineer:
"The Senior Online Engineer will be responsible for design and implementation of robust, secure, and scalable web services, and deployment processes to support customer-facing applications. The successful candidate must have strong communication skills and be able to work side by side with programmers, designers and production staff, and be passionate about owning a reliable high-traffic web application to support console and multi-screen end points."
Det er kanskje ikke så mye å rope hurra for riktig ennå, men det er likevel betryggende å se at Microsoft satser tungt på det neste kapittelet i Gears of War-serien.
