“PCF Group S.A. is currently working on seven projects: Gemini, a new AAA game developed in partnership with global publisher Square Enix; Maverick (Gears of War: E-Day), in collaboration with Microsoft,” it reads.
Prior to its official public confirmation, media outlets had already assumed that the game would be a Gears of War entry – this is because People Can Fly co-developed Gears of War: Judgement in 2013 and had prior experience porting older Gears of War titles.
Gears of War: E-Day is supposedly a spinoff to the series. The Coalition developed both Gears of War 4 and 5; they are expected to continue serving as the lead development studio for the mainline title installments for the Gears of War franchise, while People Can Fly helps handle other side projects.
