The game is the first entry in the series to be developed by The Coalition, and the first to be handled by Microsoft since the firm purchased the rights to the franchise from creator Epic Games earlier this year.
Fergusson left Epic to oversee the new Gears at The Coalition, previously known as Black Tusk Studios.

The Coalition also announced Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, a remastered version of the original Gears of War, which has been optimised for Xbox One.
