Cliff Bleszinski, co-creator of Gears of War, states that Microsoft and developer The Coalition would benefit from his ideas and should hire him as a consultant for the next installment of the series. Bleszinski mentioned this on Twitter, suggesting that Microsoft is not interested in collaboration, despite believing it would be a “golden idea.”
“I’d be happy to provide advice and express my opinion. But there’s silence,” Bleszinski said. “I understand that Gears of War will always be a significant part of my legacy. I appreciate and respect that. However, Microsoft and The Coalition haven’t reached out to me. Well, it is what it is. If they were smart, they would take advantage of my knowledge.”
Bleszinski claims that his involvement in game development would have a significant impact, not just from a public relations perspective. Unfortunately, no proposals have come his way. “It’s tough. I’ve dedicated the past few years to another project. Boss Key didn’t work out. It ended quickly. Well, these things happen.”
Boss Key Productions, the studio founded by Bleszinski after leaving Epic Games (which initially owned the rights to Gears of War) in 2012, only lasted from 2014 to 2018, and none of their games achieved significant success.
Commenting on the success of the game Palworld, often referred to as “Pokémon with weapons,” Bleszinski noted that he had a similar idea many years ago. “Palworld’s success confirms my idea, which was rejected by Epic many years ago: medieval Pokémon instead of small dragons,” he wrote in another post.
The last main installment in the Gears of War series was Gears 5 in 2019, although the spin-off game Gears Tactics (a turn-based tactical game) was released the following year in 2020. Undoubtedly, work is being done on the next game, but Microsoft has yet to confirm any details.
In October 2023, Bleszinski stated that he believes the series needs a God of War-style reboot to make the next installment more appealing to players. He also emphasized that he would be glad to provide consultation on how such a reboot should look.
According to IGN’s review, Gears 5 deserves a 9/10 rating and is an incredibly fun and polished game.
