- Crump described E-Day as a strong foundation for upcoming Gears titles and assured fans that the next installment will have a significantly shorter development cycle than the seven years it took for E-Day.
- He highlighted the studio’s experienced leadership team, which has collaborated for over 20 years, implying that maintaining this continuity is crucial for the franchise’s future success.
- Crump’s comments suggest a subtle appeal to Xbox leadership to avoid further cuts that could disrupt the studio’s accumulated expertise and ongoing projects.
