Bleszinski Served as lead designer on the first three games in the series over a 20-year span the epic which is over 2012A year after the release of the third game and two years before this one Microsoft acquired intellectual property.
Despite the success of the franchise, Bleszinski He told the media that he believed the epic Ran out of ideas on where to take it Gears Following the departure of several key staff members. So selling the franchise would not have been much of a problem.
Here are their comments:
Honestly, I think once Lee Perry, myself and Rod Ferguson left, I think Epic didn’t really know what to do with the franchise.
It’s been a while since they released a game. The Unreal Engine was doing pretty well, but they were growing and probably needed revenue even though they didn’t really know what to do with the future of the franchise.
Since you shopped Microsoft, two video games in the franchise have been released, but there are currently no plans to return. Unless a surprise announcement is made next month.
