Cliff Bleszinski, the renowned designer of the Gears of War series, has recently expressed his interest in returning to the franchise as a consultant for Microsoft on future projects. This news comes as a surprise to many fans, as Bleszinski, also known as 'CliffyB', has not been involved with the series for over a decade.
Despite his significant contributions, particularly as a designer for Gears of War 3 in 2011, Bleszinski has had no recent engagements with Microsoft or The Coalition, the current studio handling the franchise. His suggestion that Microsoft could benefit from his involvement, especially from a public relations standpoint, has sparked discussions among the gaming community. "If they were smart, they’d enlist me for my input because just from a PR standpoint alone it would be gold," Bleszinski remarked in a statement on Twitter.

Bleszinski's potential return to the Gears of War series is a topic of great interest and speculation among fans and industry insiders. His experience and vision were instrumental in shaping the franchise, and his involvement in future projects could bring a fresh perspective to the beloved series.
