Greg M. Mitchell, who was the cinematic director for most Gears of War games, has announced that he will be leaving Epic Games to join the team at Black Tusk Studios.
After Microsoft purchased the rights for Gears of War, it handed development of the new game to Black Tusk Studios, and Greg M. Mitchell will thus continue to work on the series:
"BIG NEWS!! I'm leaving Epic, but heading to @blacktuskstudio to work on #Gearsofwar!! I'll quote Marcus Fenix, by saying "NICE!!" :)"
Mitchell will now be reunited with Rod Fergusson, who had also abandoned Epic Games to work on Black Tusk Studios.
