Gears of War 4 Was Nearly a First-Person Shooter
However, Gears of War 4 almost shook things up in a big way. When speaking on the XboxEra podcast (via VGC), former Gears of War lead Cliff Bleszinski shared what his vision for the fourth game looked like before he departed from Epic Games and the series got sold off to Xbox for good. He noted that he considered taking the series to a first-person perspective and put the visual of chainsawing a locust in first-person in the minds of the audience. Unfortunately, it never came to be and it seems unlikely that it will anytime soon. Perhaps a first-person Gears game is possible eventually, but it would probably be a spin-off as it would dramatically alter the gameplay of the Gears franchise. As already noted, this has been done before, but it was kept to a spin-off.
A Gears of War first-person shooter would likely mean removing the cover shooter mechanics the series is known for amongst many other things. It would be a pretty significant retooling of how Gears of War feels, but it is a cool idea on paper if someone could find that balance. Either way, the next Gears of War game appears to be in the works, but it's unclear when we'll see it.

Gears could of been fun as an FPS, but definitely not under the development of The Coalition. Resident Evil 7 was the first RE game to try a first person perspective and that game was a gigantic success, the universes can sometimes carry these games.
