New Gears Of War Will Be At E3, Black Tusk Now Called ‘The Coalition’

It’s looking like it might be a busy E3 for the Gears of War franchise this year, which has been quiet since Judgment launched in 2013. First, there was what appeared to be leaked footage of a possible Gears of War remaster a few weeks back, and now the developer behind the franchise has said that a new game will be at E3. So that could very well mean that we’ll see two different games on the Microsoft stage with the Gears logo.

Speaking of the team behind Gears, it’s no longer Black Tusk Studios. No, Microsoft haven’t given it to someone else again, but rather just gave the studio a new name: The Coalition. Studio head Rod Furgusson made a quick video to talk about the change, which can be found just below.

Even though Gears of War: Judgement is barely two years old, it still feels like an eternity since we’ve truly been excited about the Gears of War franchise. Judgement being widely considered a disappointment in comparison to other entries in the franchise really didn’t help the taste left in our mouths while we patiently waited for the changeover from Epic Games to Black Tusk The Coalition. Hopefully a fancy remaster and at least a teaser of what comes next in the Gears of War universe will get everyone excited again.

  1. It’s not a remaster we’re getting, not unless they’re using assets from later games. Because some footage leaked a while ago, and it clearly had different, more detailed models than the original Gears. It’s going to be more like the Halo Anniversary releases.

    As for the new name, it’s a bit of a shame that they want to lock themselves to one franchise. Hopefully they’ll still get to do a new IP at some point.

    • A remaster would use better assets, no? As opposed to a port that simply runs at higher res and framerate.

      We’ll probably get a CGI teaser trailer for Gears 4 like we did for Halo 5 at E3 2013.

      I would love a Gears collection this Autumn/Winter though.

      • I think it’s a grey-area. In my head, remasters are ports with higher resolution, better framerate, improved textures, lighting and shadows. That sort of stuff, making the most of the information that’s already there. Like remasters in the music and film industry.

        This uses new 3D models and maybe even a newer engine. That creation of resources that wasn’t already made for the original release puts it closer to a remake in my head.
