A Russian-language promotional website for the Gears of War franchise briefly updated today with information about a remastered edition for Xbox One.
The leak, spied by Siliconera, says the remaster will draw on 90 minutes of content previously available in the original Gears of War for Windows PC. Also, gameplay features from Gears of War 3, such as marking enemy targets and improved sensitivity settings, appear to be available in the remastered earlier versions.
Promises of graphical performance at 60 frames per second also comport with earlier rumors.
In April, Polygon reported that Black Tusk Studios — now known as The Coalition — was developing a Gears of War remaster, following Microsoft's acquisition in 2014 of the franchise from its original developer, Epic Games. Gears of War celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2016.
Rod Fergusson, the current head of The Coalition and formerly the Gears of War producer at Epic, downplayed rumors of a Gears collection earlier this year but added that the studio is working on "other exciting Gears projects," with more details to come at E3, which is this week.
