Through his official Twitter account, Ryan Cleven
announced he had left the development team The
Coalition after spending 6 years working on Gears 4 and
Gears 5, and Cleven would move away from developing
games until further notice.
Cleven attributed his departure to a number of personal
problems that made his completion of work to develop
games the way he had done in recent years not possible
and he needed his own time to tackle these problems,
Cleven ended his letter with thanks to his colleagues and
fans of the Gears series for their support.
