Ever since Microsoft purchased the rights to theGears of WarIP from Epic Games, it has been working to expand its reach. This has included continuing the main franchise beyond the original Xbox 360 trilogy, as well as investing in spinoff titles, like the upcomingGears Tactics. We haven’t heard much aboutGears Tacticssince itsE3 2018 reveal, but The Coalition studio head Rod Fergusson offered fans a brief update on the game on Twitter.
AfterGears Tacticswas notably absent from E3 2019 and Gamescom, a fan asked Fergusson about the game, asking which team is developing it and if it will ever come to Xbox, as it had previously only been confirmed for PC. Fergusson answered both questions, confirming that the game development studio Splash Damage is working onGears Tactics, and thatGears Tacticsis in fact coming to Xbox.

Now, it’s important to note that the Twitter user didn’t specify “Xbox One,” so it’s entirely possible thatGears Tacticswill be coming to Project Scarlett instead of the current-generation Xbox One. This could explain why the game wasn’t originally confirmed for Xbox One during its E3 2018 reveal, but ifGears Tacticsis coming to Project Scarlett, it means fans of the franchise may have a long wait ahead of them before the game is actually released.
That being said, fans who followGears of Warnews closely have already been waiting ages forGears Tactics. As some may recall,Gears Tacticswas leaked back in 2013. How similar the current iteration of the game is to the 2013 leak remains to be seen, however.
Gears Tacticsisn’t the onlyGears of Warspinoff that’s in the works. AGears of War/Funko Pop mobile crossoveris also in development, and is due for release on August 23. There have also been talks about aGears of Warmovie, which will reportedly exist in a different universe than the video games.
Gears Tacticsis in development for PC and Xbox.
