Microsoft has warned fans that Black Tusk Studios will not be rushing out its first entry in the Gears of War franchise, as the studio wants to make sure it evolves the series' gameplay.

The news comes courtesy of Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer, and suggests that we shouldn't expect to get our hands on the game any time soon.

Microsoft recently bought the rights to the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games, and handed development duties to the Vancouver-based Black Tusk Studios. The developer was already working on another franchise for Xbox One at the time; sadly, it seems that this may now have been put on ice.

Ex-Epic Games director Cliff Bleszinski also has shared his thoughts on Microsoft's acquisition of Gears of War. "I don’t think the franchise could be in better hands," he stated on his blog. "Gears is just as much Rod’s baby as it was mine. He’ll take good care of her." Bleszinski will not be involved in the future of the series.

I hope they don't F it up (Like what People can Fly did with Judgement). The Gears franchise holds a special place in my heart.

I did read this article about the next Gears instalment could be in the form of a RTS style gameplay.
