After fans have speculated rumors that a Star Wars game is in development, Gears of War developers quickly deny the speculation.

Gears of War developers, The Coalition, has recently announced that they will be developing multiple new projects on the Unreal Engine 5. Known for integrating their Gears of War series with the Unreal Engine 5, they will be moving their projects to use the next-gen engine. Although, the developers have stated that it will take some time before they release new titles and projects due to this shifting of resources.

This news has led to rumors that one of these projects is a Star Wars title. The rumor was quickly shut down by the developers in a Reddit post. Senior community manager Shaun Akerman commented in the post “Just to clarify regarding the Star Wars thing. We are not working on any such title. We have nothing else to announce at this time.”. However, the studio did not deny that it is working on an original game.

EA exclusively owned the license for Star Wars game until recently. LucasFilm Games are now looking to partner with other developers for Star Wars. Unfortunately, The Coalition is not one of those partners yet. With EA losing its exclusivity on Star Wars, there are more opportunities for other developers to work with the title. Fans are hoping that their favorite title will see more development in the future. How about you? What titles are you hoping to see from the Gears of War developers?
