At the time, Bleszinski<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/cliff-bleszinski-swears-off-making-videogames-forever\/\"> swore off making games forever<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet now, in a<a href=\"https:\/\/80.lv\/articles\/cliff-bleszinski-knows-what-went-wrong\" target=\"_blank\"> wide-ranging interview with 80 Level<\/a>, Bleszinski explained that&#8217;s considering coming back. In the chat, Bleszinski discussed the events of his life since leaving the games industry, during which he<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/cliff-bleszinski-will-address-boss-key-failures-in-new-book\/\"> wrote an autobiography<\/a>, produced a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/today-i-learned-that-gears-of-war-creator-cliff-bleszinski-produced-a-tony-award-winning-musical\/\"> Tony award-winning musical<\/a>, and faced up to a long struggle with alcoholism.<\/p>\n<p>The latter resulted in Bleszinski being hospitalised in March this year, in the aftermath of which he gave up drinking. It&#8217;s been during his sobriety that Bleszinski says he rediscovered his love for games\u2014and the desire to make them:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, I want to create characters and worlds,&#8221; Bleszinski explained to journalist Brian Crecente. &#8220;I want to make stuff that people will cosplay and get tattooed on their bodies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bleszinski has already returned to game development in an advisory role\u2014having consulted on a horror game called<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3299510\/Soul_Walker\/\"> Soul Walker<\/a>. This experience appears to have been positive for him, as he&#8217;s now pondering a full-time comeback. &#8220;So maybe I&#8217;ll eventually get my full foot back in the business and hopefully not get pushed into the pool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/9VJbcpYB-yM\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bleszinski didn&#8217;t go into detail about what kind of game he wants to make during the interview. But he did discuss what he won&#8217;t be making, namely PvP multiplayer games like those created by Boss Key:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good luck to anyone in that space,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m more of a fan of PvE these days. Horde mode saved Gears 2, and I believe that space is evergreen because players just want to hop online with friends and shoot some stuff, no frills, no questions asked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, it seems like Bleszinski has an idea he wants to pursue, even if he didn&#8217;t vocalise it. &#8220;I&#8217;m nowhere near sharing anything specific (about a new game), beyond that, I can&#8217;t walk into a Home Depot without seeing a full arsenal at every turn,&#8221; he said, adding that &#8220;There&#8217;s so much more than just chainsaws.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PvP or not, I&#8217;d certainly be up for playing a new Bleszinski-led game. While LawBreakers failed to find an audience, as a multiplayer shooter it was thoroughly entertaining. Radical Heights had promise too, though it never got a chance to develop into something substantial.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I&#8217;d be most interested in a spiritual successor to Gears. That space has been left fallow for a long time, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/pragmata-review\/\"> Pragmata<\/a> recently showed there&#8217;s a big appetite for that style of game. But all of this is contingent on whether Bleszinski actually comes back, which isn&#8217;t guaranteed. In 2020, Bleszinski said he felt an urge to make<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/cliff-bleszinski-says-hes-feeling-the-urge-to-make-a-little-game\/\"> &#8220;a little game&#8221;.<\/a> But for whatever reason that didn&#8217;t transpire, at least not publicly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"62708eb6-8367-11f1-80af-530d76deda41\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gears-of-wars-creator-is-considering-returning-to-game-development-but-whatever-he-makes-wont-be-pvp-like-his-last-efforts-good-look-to-anyone-in-that-space.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"62708eb6-8367-11f1-80af-530d76deda41\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/gears-of-wars-creator-is-considering-returning-to-game-development-but-whatever-he-makes-wont-be-pvp-like-his-last-efforts-good-look-to-anyone-in-that-space\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight years after leaving the games industry, Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski is considering a full-time return to game development.
