Microsoft Studios acquires rights to Gears of War series
Rod Fergusson, former Director of Production at Epic Games on the Gears of War franchise, is joining Microsoft and will play a "key studio leadership role" at Black Tusk. The last time we heard from Fergusson he was launching a new studio for 2K in the Bay Area; it would appear that relationship didn't work out.
Each entry in the four-game Gears of War series was published by Microsoft since its introduction in November 2006. The last Epic-developed game in the series was Gears of War: Judgment, which launched in March 2013.

Krookodile Microsoft, I think can turn this into a better game
Well I think they might know what they're doing since they kind of helped make the game.

GT-R Hopefully they will revamp GoW. This last couple of games in the series were kind of boring.
Gears of War 3 was great, but your right about Judgment, that was terrible.

Pummpy1 I thought they already had the rights to GoW.
Guess not then :L
Should be an awesome game if they make it.
Microsoft Studios is a developer. They aren't talking about the company Microsoft itself. So no they didn't have the rights.

Gears of War is a good game, knowing Microsoft they will probably mess something up. But hopefully not.
