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.

Hopefully they will revamp GoW. This last couple of games in the series were kind of boring.

I've never been a fan of GoW but I know lots of people who are. I was never good at it which is probably the reason why.
