Gears of War has been a strong asset and recognizable franchise of Xbox for many years and after a quick chat and interview with former game developer Cliff Bleszinski, he now reveals that he is very much open to the possibility of returning.
The franchise could strongly benefit from a former developer who left and experienced more from outside the studio that can help reshape and improve the beloved franchise.
Game developers who left their former workplaces to pursue other opportunities are not uncommon. Most of those who returned were embraced and welcomed with open arms and their newfound knowledge and experiences were crucial to the studio’s growth like Cory Barlog and Santa Monica Studio, who went on to direct the soft reboot of God of War.
Cliff Bleszinski Is Ready To Come Back For More Gears Of War
In a recent interview with FandomWire regarding his appearance and contributions to Wolves Den on YouTube, Bleszinski is more than willing to return to Gears of War and claims that Microsoft has his number and is waiting for the call.
I’ve said it a thousand times that I’d be more than willing to do that. They have my number.
Gears of War has helped the Xbox brand grow and reach new audiences who are interested in the genre of warfare. Phil Spencer was caught in a web of controversy after his recent statement that capitalism is the root of all the problems in the gaming industry and the lack of growth.
Perhaps the head of Xbox will take a page out of Sony’s book and reach out to original team members like Bleszinski for much-needed growth.
It is a waste of talent and a no-brainer move to not utilize the talent who is responsible for the growth and popularity of a franchise, Xbox has a golden goose in the form of Cliff Bleszinski, and his work on Gears of War was golden eggs that can bear new ideas for future games.
Microsoft Is Sleeping On Cliff Bleszinski’s Passion To Return To Gears Of War
Fans and users of Xbox have been complaining and begging for years about Xbox’s lack of quality AAA first-party games that can rival the likes of PlayStation and Nintendo.
Fan frustration has been increased by deals with third-party major publishers like Square Enix, which granted Sony timed-exclusivity for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, its sequel in the form of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
The enthusiastic energy of creatives should be honed rather than ignored. Bleszinski could help the franchise he created to find new ground and be introduced to newer audiences. Xbox is sleeping on Gears of War because its focus on streaming will harm what is left of small original franchises.
