IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- The Coalition, developer of Gears of War: E-Day, faces internal concerns about potential layoffs amid Xbox's ongoing studio cuts, despite mostly avoiding recent reductions.
- Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's restructuring has led to nearly 2,000 job cuts and significant studio reorganizations, including merging Rare under Activision and Obsidian under Bethesda.
- The Coalition's studio head Mike Crump emphasized focusing on delivering a great game but did not guarantee the studio’s job security going forward.
- Crump confirmed plans for more Gears of War games, stating that the next installment will build on E-Day’s foundation and have a shorter development cycle.
- Microsoft remains committed to continuing the Gears of War story and resolving the cliffhanger from Gears 5, but it is uncertain if The Coalition will develop the next chapter.
