Gears 6 Almost Blasted Off To Space, Says Former Coalition Boss
Space, the final frontier… for Gears of War 6? That apparently was in the cards years ago when former The Coalition head honcho Rod Fergusson was at the studio. However, those plans may have changed, as the next game in the franchise is Gears of War: E-Day.
Appearing on IGN’s Podcast Unlocked, Fergusson–who now oversees the Diablo series–opened up about where he wanted to go with Gears of War 6. “So what I wanted to do with Gears 6 is get you off Sera to encounter what that could mean to the rest of the galaxy–at least the rest of the solar system.”
However, Fergusson clarified that this didn’t mean Kait Diaz and Marcus Fenix would be hopping between planets. Gears of War 5 teased old, Russian-like technology for getting off Sera, so the goal seemed to be just a new place (or planet) to raise the stakes. “It wasn’t like we’re just going to start Mass Effect-ing this,” Fergusson said.
