Black Tusk Studios is no more, but will continue working on the Gears of War franchise as The Coalition.
Black Tusk Studios is now taking the lead on the Gears of War series, and Microsoft admits that means that the future of the original game it was working on has not yet been determined.
Microsoft Studios announced today that it has bought the rights to Gears of War from Epic, and recruited Gears alum Rod Fergusson to head up Black Tusk which will be taking on the first new effort.
Microsoft's Black Tusk studio is working on four unannounced IP, according to the resume of a senior product manager.
Microsoft has opened a shiny new studio in the Canadian city of Vancouver (or Washington D.C. as it's known in The X-Files) to work on its "next big entertainment franchise." What that'll be, well, that's a mystery for now, but Black Tusk Studios has declared its existence to the world and is staffing up.
