The Coalition announced this week that its future projects will be developed on Epic's latest software, which will likely mean that upcoming games will look pretty sharp.

Gears 5 was always a handsome-looking game, but its next update is going to increase the beefiness of its visuals to dangerously muscular levels. MUSCLES AND GUNS YO! Alongside new graphical bells and whistles, you’ll be able to start New Game+ Mode and…play as former WWE superstar Dave Bautista? Well alright then.

You’re not just looking to outfight your opponent, you’re working to outthink them as well.
People Can Fly is the Polish studio behind Painkiller (remember that? Impaling baddies with stakes was a blast!) and the sweary, skilly-killy Bulletstorm. At last year’s E3 they teased their new game Outriders, but now they’ve shown off more of the game through a more extended trailer.
Rod Fergusson, overall nice fella and one of the driving forces behind Gears of War back when it was nothing but a single game child destined to be an Xbox 360 system-seller, is just about ready to call it a day on the franchise.
