It was recently announced that Black Tusk Studios would be making the next Gears of War game for the Xbox One. Many fans saw this as being similar to the time Bungie handed Halo over to 343 Industries who went on to make the excellent Halo 4.

“It’s a great model,” Fergusson told Official Xbox Magazine. “I would be lying if we didn’t say that was an interesting model to look at and I feel, as a fan of the Halo series, they were successful with Halo 4.”

NeoGAF, in particular, researched the recent game developers that Spencer’s been following on Twitter to conclude the involvement of Hidden Path Entertainment, Platinum Studios (who were rumored to be working on an Xbox One exclusive), Riot Games, or Ninja Theory. Considering Spencer followed Insomniac Games before the company revealed their Xbox One exclusive, Sunset Overdrive, NeoGAF’s assumptions seemed justified. When the morning came, the announcement wasn’t very thrilling.
