Gears Of War Designer Wants To See The Franchise On PS5
Gears of War’s chief designer Cliff Bleszinski has reacted to Microsoft’s recent decision to bring a very small selection of its games to PlayStation and Nintendo, saying he would like to see Gears of War come to PlayStation. In fact, Gears of War was one of the franchises rumored for release on rival systems, but it wasn’t among the first batch of games slated for release. Bleszinski no longer works on the Gears of War series, however, having left Epic Games in 2012.
Speaking to GameRant, Bleszinski quoted Ronald Reagan regarding his thoughts on Microsoft’s push to bring more of its franchises to rival systems.
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” he said. “I think that’s what Phil Spencer’s going for. He’s going for the Netflix model. That started with Xbox Game Pass and then, like Netflix, they realized they need to be on every device. People have been joking about Gears of War coming to PlayStation for well over like a decade and, you know, I think ’the more, the merrier.’ If people own a PS5 and get to play and experience the next-gen Gears games, that means more Gears of War tattoos.”
