Gears of War is one of Xboxs iconic franchises. While over the years the company hasnt neglected the IP, the new installments havent reached the heights of the original trilogy to the extent that some fans are calling for The Coalition to refresh the series, just like its creator, who believes it could benefit from an approach similar to what God of War did.
In light of the ongoing publication of his comic series Scrapper, Cliff Bleszinski (the creator of Gears of War) took part in an interview and when asked if he would like to address the IP through comics, he confessed that he would like something different regarding the future of his creation.
A reboot would suit Gears of War, according to its creator
Specifically, Bleszinski mentioned that the third-person shooter series "needs something like a reboot" and that Xbox should do something similar to what PlayStation did with God of War.
Whats most interesting is that the creator reiterated that hes open to the idea of being involved in the project, not so much directly, but as a consultant: "Ive always said, Phil Spencer [Xbox boss] has my number, Id be happy to consult."
Finally, Bleszinski admitted that he hasnt forgotten about Gears of War and holds it dear, occasionally taking the opportunity to revisit iconic game scenes.
"Gears will always be close to my heart (…) sometimes I go to YouTube and watch key scenes from the Gears franchise," the creator expressed in an interview with ComicBook, mentioning some memorable moments as examples, which we wont share here to avoid spoilers.
