Gears of War studio confirms it’s not working on a Star Wars title

The Coalition recently revealed that all future projects will be developed on Unreal Engine 5.

Gears of War studio The Coalition is shutting down rumors that it’s developing a new Star Wars title.

With the news that The Coalition is shifting development of all future projects to Unreal Engine 5, a recent rumour from

GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb naturally made its way into the Reddit conversation, but the

Gears studio wasn’t having any of it. In a reply to a comment invoking the rumor,

Gears of War community manager TC Kilo, in no uncertain terms, squashed it.

“Just to clarify regarding the Star Wars thing,” reads the response from The

Coalition. “We are not working on any such title. We have nothing else to announce at this time.”

In announcing that The Coalition is moving to a next-gen development engine, the studio also made sure to temper expectations about new game announcements more generally. “Shifting to a new engine is a big undertaking, so we want to be clear that we will not be announcing any new projects or titles for some time.”
