The Gears of War franchise has been absent for quite some time, since the release of Gears of War: Judgement a couple of years ago. There’s definitely some work being done, and details about the future of the series are coming soon. There’s a brand new team at Black Tusk after the acquisition from Epic by Microsoft. Former series producer and director Rod Fergusson was hired to oversee the franchise at the time of the acquisition and now it has been announced that he has officially taken over as head of Black Tusk and the Gears of War franchise as a whole.
