Gears of War Creator Cliff ‘CliffyB’ Bleszinski Expresses Interest in Returning as Consultant, But Microsoft Isn’t Interested
Cliff ‘CliffyB’ Bleszinski, the creator of the popular game series Gears of War, has expressed his desire to return to the project as a consultant. Despite many years since his last involvement with the game, Bleszinski still feels a great attachment to the series. However, it seems that Microsoft is not interested in his participation.
Bleszinski has acknowledged that Gears of War will always be a part of his legacy and appreciates the significant role he played in its development. Unfortunately, despite numerous requests to Microsoft, he has not received any response from them. Nevertheless, Bleszinski believes that the involvement of a well-known figure like himself, even in an advisory role, would bring significant PR benefits.
Since the release of Gears of War 3, CliffyB has dedicated himself to other projects such as the short-lived shooter LawBreakers, theater productions, comics, and more. However, Gears of War still holds a special place in his heart, and he dreams of returning to it once again.
The former designer has assured Microsoft that they have his number and even suggested the possibility of working on Gears of War 6. However, according to his recent statements, it appears that Microsoft is not interested in collaborating.
Nevertheless, there is no denying that bringing back CliffyB during the promotion of a new installment would be a remarkable marketing move. Although Microsoft and The Coalition may have well-defined plans already, including an engaged and enthusiastic creator like him seems like an attractive option.
While the decision ultimately rests with Microsoft, it seems that they are not inclined to work with Bleszinski on future Gears of War installments. The artist even mentioned recently that he proposed a project in the style of Palworld, but Epic Games was not interested in such a venture.
In the meantime, fans can explore other FPS games and free games on the Steam platform.
