Gears of War on Xbox One? Microsoft is hopeful

Microsoft hopes that it can one day bring its incredibly successful Xbox 360 franchise Gears of War to Xbox One.

There’s bad news, though – it doesn’t sound like there are any plans in place at the moment.

Gears of War is developed by Epic Games, and they’ve been our partners for a long time on Xbox 360,” Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer told Famitsu, as reported by DualShockers. You should ask Epic Games about what they want to do.

We haven’t announced anything yet about Gears of War, but we hope to bring it to Xbox One in some form. However, there’s nothing more I can tell you at this time.”

The news shouldn’t come as a surprise, of course – 2011’s Gears of War 3 sold three million copies in its opening week alone.
