We live our namesake. The Coalition is a group of diverse and talented individuals working together for a common purpose. We do everything with grit and passion. We are a big studio with the heart and hunger of a small team.


The Coalition has always been on the forefront of Unreal Engine development. We are one of the world’s leading studios pushing the limits of available technology to build next-generation experiences in Unreal Engine 5.

Our purpose has always been to create stories about belonging, which is why we’ve made a multi-year long commitment to donate 1% of net revenue from all Gears of War games and merch to organizations working to prevent suicide and combat loneliness. We are proud to partner with Crisis Text Line.
