Rod on IGN's Podcast said that before leaving The Coalition they already knew they were going to change from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5 and it would take 18 months to change the technology, plus there is the design, plus there is the game and everything else, Rod likes shipping games and knew it would be a long way away for Gears 6, he didn't want to wait 5+ years to ship another game so he joined Diablo team.
Might be a while for Gears 6! I didn't expect a change to Unreal Engine 5 to take 18 months. He also said this, Lol.
"I did want to make sure when I left The Coalition that I left them in a good place," Fergusson said. "So I did write the synopsis story for Gears 6. If I were to have stayed, here's the game we would have made--at least from a story perspective. Now they probably threw that out and said, 'Good luck and goodbye.' And that's fine. I definitely had where I would go with 6."
