In an interview with IGN, The Coalition’s Studio Head Rod Fergusson said there are currently no plans for Gears to get the battle royale treatment. The keyword here is currently.
Fergusson said his team is rather open to considering anything, but at the moment, they’re too busy developing Gears 5, Gears Tactics, Gears Pop, and managing other projects to seriously consider developing a battle royale mode.
However, if The Coalition were to do a Gears battle royale, Fergusson said they’d want to get it right and be authentic not only to Gears, but also to be a great entry in the genre. He’s also aware of the way popular gaming trends work, and Fergusson doesn’t want to jump on board the battle royale train just because it’s the hot new thing.
