Gears of War Remaster May Come to Xbox One
Update: Another source told Polygon that developer Splash Damage (Brink) will handle the Xbox One remaster of Gears of War. Several job openings on the studio's website mention that it's "about to engage in a very well known and highly popular AAA title with next gen technology."
Microsoft first-party studio Black Tusk is reportedly working on a remake of the original Gears of War for Xbox One.
According to Polygon, inside sources have told the outlet that a re-release, complete with updated visuals and remade cutscenes by animation studio Plastic Wax, is on the horizon. In fact, the source supplied several stills of the alleged remade opening cutscene.
Earlier this year, Black Tusk Studios boss Rod Fergusson denied reports of a Marcus Fenix Collection for Xbox One. He did, however, tease that several other projects set in the Gears universe are currently in the works.
If this remake is in fact real, we'll likely hear more about it, as well the series' next proper entry, from Microsoft at its E3 media briefing in June. We spoke with Head of Xbox Phil Spencer not too long ago regarding the next mainline Gears, in which he was careful to point out it won't be a mere reboot.
