Game Informer be teasing another Gears a War in development with a cover image a a man in chains.
If ye’ll remember, the original Gears a War started with Marcus Fenix in chains, suggesting this latest installment could very well be a prequel.
The next question be who’s making it, 'n it’s not necessarily Epic Games. The company purchased a majority stake in Painkiller developer People Can Fly in 2007, 'n released Bulletstorm through Electronic Arts in early 2011. I deeply loved the mechanics in Bulletstorm, but the sales be disappointing 'n a sequel be canned. People Can Fly’s next project has yet t' be announced, 'n Epic Games be keeping mum on any connection t' this game.
When asked this morning, Epic Games be unsurprisingly cagey.
“No additional details be available at this time,” said the studio in a statement.
Either Epic Games 'n the internal team who made the other Gears a War games be making this new one--or they aren’t. It’s an easy question t' answer, 'n if the company isn’t prepared t' say one way or the other, I’m willing t' bet money People Can Fly’s logo will show up at the Microsoft press conference next week.
It helps that People Can fly creative director Adrian Chmielarz be chattering about the cover on Twitter.
We’ll be at E3, obviously, 'n the Microsoft press briefing starts on Monday, June 4 at 9:30 a.m. PST.
