The studio head of Microsoft's Vancouver-based Xbox team, Rod Fergusson, has announced that Black Tusk Studios has been renamed The Coalition.
Rod Fergusson said the following:
"A coalition is a team of diverse individuals working together for a common purpose, a concept that we feel describes our studio quite well. Fans will also recognize the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) from Gears of War lore.
When people hear 343 Industries, they associate it with Halo; when they hear Turn 10 Studios, they know that’s who makes Forza. Moving forward, when you hear The Coalition, we want you to think of Gears of War."
Expect more news on the next Gears of War game to be announced at E3 later this month.

Cole Train Studios would be better. Whoooo!!!
Meh, I liked Black Tusk better. The Coalition sounds so generic, something our govt would name xD
I am guessing this means Gears Of War will be a regular series for Xbox now. This is actually fantastic. Dedicated companies focusing on making the franchise the best it can be.
Seems cool. I never really understood what 'Black Tusk' was supposed to reference.
