CliffyB’s working on a new IP during COVID-19 lockdown

Former Gears of War lead designer and former Boss Key Productions head, Cliff ‘CliffyB’ Bleszinski, has announced he’s working on a new IP whilst in COVID-19 lockdown.

“I’m noodling on a new IP during this lockdown,” he wrote on Twitter. “I don’t know what it’ll wind up being – a movie or game or graphic novel or TV series. But… I’m working. Forgot how fun it was to name characters and craft a world!”

Bleszinski later added, “oh it involves dogs ;)”.

The game developer took to Instagram back in February to say that his former studio and new IP, Lawbreakers, failed because he and it were too “woke”. Bleszinski then offered to consult on the Gears of War franchise in the wake of studio head Rod Fergusson’s departure.

We’ll keep you informed as to what CliffyB is planning. The latest game in the Gears of War franchise, Gears Tactics, released this week on PC.
