A FRANCHISE MOVE OF "EPIC" PROPORTIONS
Microsoft, as of this morning(1/27/14) has purchased the entirety of the GEARS OF WARS Franchise from Epic Games--making what was a strong partnership between the Software/Gaming giant and Epic's former Franchise an even more-solid base, turning a wildly popular series into another 1st-Party Title for Microsoft as they start to bring more to the XBOX One.
Coming alongside the purchase of the franchise, Rod Fergusson, who worked on the first 3 titles in the series, will now head up Black Tusk Studios, which will be in charge of developing future GEARS titles for XBOX 360 and XBOX One.
Hopefully this acquisition will give the future of MS's console a lot of help.
