Gears of War: Ultimate Edition was developed in just ten months, developer The Coalition has revealed.

In a new behind-the-scenes trailer, executive producer Mike Crump discusses the shortened development period for the game, including working with external partners.

“Typically on a game of this size and this scale, you’d have two to three years to create all the assets that need to go into the game. In this case we had just under ten months,” explained Crump.

Crump continued: “We went to find partners who could help us basically realise our vision for the game. We’re now working with a number of different partners in six countries on four continents around the world.”
