Cliff Bleszinski hints at possible advisory role in 'Gears' development

Cliff Bleszinski, known for his significant contributions to the original Gears of War series, has expressed interest in taking on an advisory role for future Gears of War titles. Despite his willingness to offer guidance, he reported that there has been no outreach from Microsoft or The Coalition, the current developers of the Gears franchise. Bleszinski was last directly involved in the development of Gears of War 3, and he has served as an executive producer for the upcoming Gears of War film. Following his tenure with Gears of War, he founded Boss Key Productions which released titles such as Lawbreakers and Radical Heights before the studio shut down. It is rumored among fans that a new Gears of War game may be in development, utilizing Unreal Engine 5, but there has been no official confirmation.

While there is no official statement, rumors suggest that The Coalition could be working on a new Gears of War game that will harness the power of Unreal Engine 5.

Gears of War is a critically acclaimed third-person shooter franchise that first launched in 2006. The series revolutionized cover-based shooting mechanics and has a strong legacy in both the single-player and multiplayer realms. Besides the core games, the Gears universe has expanded into novels, comics, and an upcoming film adaptation. With Unreal Engine 5's next-gen technology, a future installment has the potential to elevate the series' renowned gameplay and graphics to unprecedented levels, assuming the rumors are true.
