Gears Of War: E-Day Cost $500 Million To Make, It's Claimed

Earlier this year, it was reported that Gears of War: E-Day cost $400 million to make , meaning it would need to become the best-selling entry in the franchise just to recoup its development costs. However, a new report suggests the budget may have been even higher. Windows Central refuted Insider Gaming's initial $400 million estimate in June, arguing that it failed to account for The Coalition's work supporting other studios under the Xbox umbrella. However, Kotaku now claims that a source close to Xbox's plans put the budget at over $500 million.
