The first truly big E3 reveal came today in the form of an all-new Gears of War game for Xbox 360.
The game will be featured in the upcoming issue of Game Informer magazine, the cover of which you can see below. It shows a characters, someone (probably Marcus) in captivity with a city in flames behind him. I’m thinking it’s either a prequel that tells how Marcus ended up in prison and became a COG, or it’s some wild spin-off with all-new characters. It’s got to be a direct prequel to the first game.
With Microsoft focusing so much on the fall launch of Halo 4 a new Gears of War entry was the last thing on anyone’s mind. Consider this a shocker, but I wouldn’t expect to see the game in stores until next spring.
Microsoft will reveal the name for the next Gears of War game and preferably a trailer during their E3 press conference on Monday morning.
