Absolutely shocking news. Epic has said the Gears of War universe will continue after Gears of War 3. However, the third game in the series will wrap up the Marcus Fenix storyline and it won’t end with a cliffhanger — something that would surely grind some fans’ gears if they did.
Executive producer Rod Fergusson told CVG that “”We’re bringing the biggest campaign with ever made, we’re bringing Horde, we’re bringing Beast, we’re bringing a really deep multiplayer with rewards and unlocks and thousands of hours of gameplay.”
Thousands of hours! So if you sleep 8 hours a day and do nothing but play Gears of War 3, you could be playing it more than 125 days.
To be fair, the Gears games sell well and the new nuts and bolts of Unreal Engine 3 will undoubtedly see more use in future Gears of War games. DirectX 11 fur-shaded multiplatform Bears of War anyone?
