Developers from the studio The Coalition on Monday celebrated the 16th anniversary of the release of the first part of Gears of War. The series, originally created by Epic Games, subsequently came under the control of Microsoft, which owns it to this day. On account of the Coalition, the fourth and fifth parts, as well as assistance in developing the Tactics strategy. But now it turned out that in addition to the new full-fledged work, they are working on another project from this universe.
A rather unexpected announcement was made by Netflix, which has recently been making a big splash in the field of video games and their adaptations, and this is also the case. We learned that a feature film and animated series for an adult audience is being created in cooperation with The Coalition. The short tweet goes on to mention that there is potential for new stories, so it probably won’t be the end of the story for these two projects if they are successful.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any other information. We do not know who is the director and who will star in the film. From this we can assume that the projects are really at the beginning of their development and we will have to wait for them for a few more years.
