Godt nok har Microsoft for nylig opkøbt en række studier, som lige nu er i gang med at eksperimentere på livet løs, men de har stadig en række kernestudier, som er dedikeret til én enkelt serie. Turn 10 laver Forza, 343 Industries laver Halo, og nu ved vi at The Coaltion også er dedikeret til Gears of War-serien på den lange bane.
I et interview med IGN bekræfter chef Rod Fergusson, at selvom de måske en dag vil lave noget andet, så er de dedikerede 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 udkommer d. 10 september.
