Both Kotaku and Polygon report that Microsoft, Black Tusk Studios and Dirty Bomb‘s Splash Damage are working on a remastered Xbox One version of at least the first Gears of War game.
It’s not certain just how far this update to the cover-based shooter will go, but it supposedly includes both improved in-game graphics (such as sharper textures and improved lighting) and “reworked cut scenes” courtesy of animation studio Plastic Wax.
This sadly wouldn’t be a genuinely new game, then, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the leaks are on the mark. Gears of War was one of the big money-makers for the Xbox 360 in the console’s heyday, and it’d likely attract plenty of gamers with fond memories of blasting Locust drones.
