The Coalition
At the beginning of this week, the development studio The Coalition announced that it would increasingly rely on the modern Unreal Engine 5 for future projects. The team left it open in which games the engine will be used. But a little later, Jeff Grubb, the first insider to speak about this topic - with some interesting statements.Because, as Grubb reports, The Coalition is supposedly not only working on a rather smaller, experimental title, but also a previously secret game in the Star Wars universe. Grubb did not reveal the source from which he obtained this information, but in the past the insider and journalist has proven himself to be a reliable informant several times.
Can we look forward to a Star Wars adventure from the Gears -Developers looking forward? No - at least not when it comes to the community manager "TC Kilo" who works for The Coalition. A little later he spoke up via Reddit.com to comment on this - with a very clear statement.
"To clear up this Star Wars matter: We are not working on such a title . We currently have nothing more to announce. "
Accordingly, the Community Manager gives the Star Wars rumors a clear rejection. However, the phrase "current" could indicate that the development studio may still leave a small back door open. The Coalition may be waiting for the right time to make an announcement. The E3 2021? In any case, we are still on the ball for you.
