Gears of War: E-Day Devs 'Proud to Be One of Xbox's Main Titles' Amid Newfound Focus on Exclusivity

The Gears of War: E-Day developers at The Coalition say they are "proud to be one of Xbox's main titles" as Microsoft refocuses on exclusivity.

Studio art director Aryan Hanbeck and creative director Matt Searcy opened up about The Coalition's place in the Xbox portfolio during an interview with gaming news content creator Destin Lergarie (via MP1st ).

Searcy said he and the rest of the team were "proud" when asked how they feel about Gears of War: E-Day's status as an Xbox exclusive. "Well, we feel great because Gears has such a long, storied… It's part of Xbox's DNA.

It's woven into it," he said. "At The Coalition, we feel pretty honored to have Gears and be the ones bringing that legacy forward.

We know how much it means to us." Gears of War: E-Day is firmly a console exclusive, but there was a lot of confusion surrounding which platforms Gears of War: E-Day would be available on as recently as four months ago.
