On paper, exciting times are coming for the world of video games because some sagas that we have all been waiting for for years are on the horizon. And in the case of Microsoft, It is one of the most celebrated since the times of Xbox 360. We are referring to Gears of War 6which seems to now come full circle when another member of Phil Spencer’s conglomerate, the head of Diablo IV at Blizzard, has decided to talk about that franchise. Because?
Virtually all professional sectors in the world are endogamous. If you become part of one you will see that you almost always see the same faces, just changed places. Today that is in that company and that another goes to the competition where he has already been that. And vice versa. So many move through the same positions over the years. And that is more or less what has happened with the head of Diablo IVsuch a Rodd Fergusson…does it sound familiar to you?
From Gears of Wars to Diablo IV
The fact is that the head of the saga Devil has spoken… but not precisely about his ARPG within Blizzardbut from the title of The Coalitionwho is preparing a Gears of War 6 which raised many hopes among xboxers last June. Now, we’ve learned that Rodd Fergusson was involved with that development when he worked at the studio and therefore has some interesting information to share.
And he has done it because he has remembered that “it is a bit surreal that something comes out about Gears which I have not been involved in. You know, I spent 15 years with gears of war and basically all the games that were made, I think 9 or 10 in total. So they have important knowledge about the franchise Microsoftalthough now he works within the multinational in Blizzard as part of the set.
Don’t think that information that he has released is not relevant because it would confirm that Gears of War 6 It is considered a key title by Microsoft, which is why they wanted to offer a different experience than what we have seen so far. Thus, Rodd remembers that «Gears 6 I was going to leave Sera. That was something we were building. If you pay attention to the history of Gears 5you meet the new rocket technology of the UIR [Unión de Repúblicas Independientes]. We were laying the groundwork so that, by taking control of that territory from the UIR, we would adopt their space program. So what I wanted to do with Gears 6 is to take you outside It will be so you can discover what that could mean for the rest of the galaxy, or at least the rest of the solar system. It’s not like you were jumping [entre planetas]but… it was old technology, from the Russian era, type Sputnikso we weren’t going to start doing Mass Effect with this. “It was really about, ‘Let’s take you somewhere new so you can discover what this looks like.'”
So now, it seems that that idea has been rejected, but where will the new directions go? We’ll see if they are as good as they are on Xbox 360 again.
