For some reason...??

The developer states

"In short, The Coalition speaks to who we are as a team, and what it is we're working on," studio head Rod Fergusson said in a statement. "A coalition is a team of diverse individuals working together for a common purpose, a concept that we feel describes our studio quite well. Fans will also recognize the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) from Gears of War lore."

This is in my opinion kind of ridiculous as it sounds stupid as a game studio and I thought Black Tusk was a good name.

Microsoft acquired the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games last year, putting its internal team Black Tusk Studios to work on a new entry in the action-shooter series for Xbox One. That project is separate from the reported remaster.

This is after there has been leaked footage of the new Gears of War remastered for Xbox One (and hopefully PC)
