For nylig kunne The Coalition-chefen Rod Fergusson afsløre til stor overraskele, at han forlader studiet til fordel for en position hos Blizzad, hvor han skal hjælpe med at udvikle Diablo IV. Men hvad så med Gears-serien? Ja, Microsoft lader til at have stor tiltro til den, for ifølge dem vokser antallet af fans hele tiden.
I et interview med GamesIndustry fortæller Xbox Game Studios-chefen Matt Booty, at fanbasen vokser konstant.
"I feel great about Gears 5. I will start with what's most important, in that the quality and the craft of the game is world class. I say that definitively without having to put any exceptions or caveats around that. We are particularly happy with the progress that they've made in terms of accessibility, diversity representation in the game, and some of the awards it got for things like audio. We are still seeing a tremendous amount of energy around the passionate and global fanbase. That group continues to grow.
We have continued growth in merchandise, linear media... Universal still has the option for the movie out there. So we feel great about it. And in terms of the game's performance, it has done very well within Game Pass."
The Coalition arbejder uden tvivl på Gears 6, og som Booty siger er der også en film under udvikling hos Universal.
