Fight Night producer to head up Gears of War?

Microsoft has snapped up Kudo Tsunoda from the ashes of EA Chicago, the studio responsible for Fight Night Round 3 and Def Jam Icon that EA shut down in November last year.

The colourful and charismatic Kudo Tsunoda was the lead producer on both of those games and was working on the sequel to Marvel: Rise Of The Imperfects when EA closed the studio down. Following the closure, which EA promised wasn't because Def Jam Icon brought Sean Paul to the 360, Tsunoda has now joined Microsoft's Xbox division as the title of General Manager.

The confusing part is Kudo Tsunoda is project lead on "an upcoming Gears Of War title", which throws itself open to all sorts of interpretations - where does this leave Cliffy B and Epic? Will Tsunoda just have an advisory role? Does this mean another Gears Of War title besides the expected sequel? Will Sean Paul be in it? So many questions, so few answers. Hopefully, the upcoming Games Developer Conference will give the answers... (Gears of War, PC, Xbox 360)
