Gears Of War: E-Day Cost Half A Billion To Make, Apparently

Reports from Kotaku, The Game Business, and Windows Central suggest Gears of War: E-Day cost $500 million to produce. While some sources state this excludes marketing, others question if it includes The Coalition studio overhead. Despite the massive investment, early sales results appear unimpressive. Additionally, Microsoft reportedly cancelled a nearly complete PS5 version of the title, further complicating the financial outlook for one of the most expensive games ever developed by the studio.
