Cliff Bleszinski No Longer Involved With Gears of Wars Franchise

Cliff Bleszinski No Longer Involved With Gears of Wars Franchise

The name Bleszinski can be somewhat polarizing in the gaming world. Many have strong opinions about him, either positive or negative. Very few are luke warm, but one thing is for sure: he’s made his mark on the Gears of War games.

Now, with the recent announcement that the series has been sold to Microsoft, Bleszinski confirms he will no longer be involved with the legendary Xbox franchise. “I’m not going to move to Vancouver and work on it. I’m not going to consult on it. My headspace is in the future now, not the past. I have come to realize that until you give people something new to focus on they will obsess about the past.” Said Bleszinski in a recent interview.

However, even though he’ll no longer have input into future Gears games, he does believe that the new studio will handle his former pet project with kid gloves. “To be honest, I don’t think the franchise could be in better hands. Heck, Rod’s Twitter handle, to this day, is ‘Gears Viking.’ Gears is just as much Rod’s baby as it was mine. He’ll take good care of her.” He states.

Bleszinski has managed to keep his future projects fairly quiet as he continues to development them. We’ll bring you the news of his next big plans as it breaks.
