Currently unemployed Gears of War game developer Cliff Bleszinski has received a package containing a phone apparently sent from Ubisoft. While enjoying his ongoing break from the industry, the former Epic Games design director tweeted ‘Hotel called my room. A package for me? Inside? A fully charged phone with one # programmed and the Ubisoft logo on the backdrop. Now what?’ Obviously, pics or didn’t happen, so...

Cliffy later said he would call the number and tell them: ‘I do have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me an asset for people like you.’

Cliffy B left his job as design director at Epic Games at the start of October, saying it was time for “a much needed break”.

Watch full video here:

Could this be a job offer from Ubisoft? Could Cliffy B be coming back to games? Was the package even delivered to the right room? Perhaps it’s all part of some completely pointless hoax?

Be sure to tune in next time for more exciting adventures of unemployed game developer Cliffy B.
