It follows a hiring drive at new Gears of War studio Black Tusk, which promises to deliver an "industry-leading multiplayer experience."

It's fair to say that Microsoft is in a stronger position now than it was leading up to E3 2013, given Xbox One's reveal and a few controversial episodes that followed.
