Microsoft has bought the rights to Gears of War from Epic Games and has given their game studio Black tusk the task to continue making new games for the franchise polygon has reported. 

 

Rod Ferguson who was executive producer and director of production at Epic Games has joined Black Tusk to aid them in further production of the Gears of War franchise, he will be working along side the studios manager Hanno Lemke. 

 

Ferguson spoke to polygon about this new turn of events. 

 

"I'm extremely excited to be joining Black Tusk Studios to oversee development on the Gears of War franchise," Ferguson said to polygon. "I've been privileged to work on a lot of great games with a lot of great teams, but Gears has had the most impact on me professionally and personally, so this really feels like a homecoming. I can't wait to share more with you all soon."

 

Polygon also spoke to Microsoft Studios corporate vice president, he stated that they are not planning to talk about the franchise yet, but will be making announcements this year. Most likely we will see something regarding it at this years E3.

More Gears games to come?  What else has Black Tusk developed?

 

Also glad they have staff from Epic Games to help them make the new ones. I don't want Gears to change too much.

I have only briefly played the first one... it was ok.

 

As long as Black Tusk continues to provide solid and enjoyable games for their fan base I think they will do just fine under MS.

If Black Tusk can handle it and do a good game, I'll shell out for it. Gears of War was my first FPS on the 360 and likely my first 360 game (I forgot if I played King Kong before it) and I loved Gears 2 and 3 with all of my heart, so, if they can create "Gears of War 4" or whatever they plan to call it and keep the magic from 1,2, and 3 in there, well... More money to them!

 

Let's just hope it is not like You Know What...

Absolutely love Gears. I'm happy their making a new Gear but I hope they don't change it into something completely different and simply keep the core of the old gears of war games.
