New Gears of War coming at E3

The next chapter in the Gears of War shooter saga is coming to the Xbox 360 and will be announced on Monday, according to the GameStop-owned Game Informer magazine. The announcement will be made during Microsoft's 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing, which is slated for 9:30 a.m. PDT on June 4.


Where will the Gears of War series go next?
Game Informer's July issue features art from the new game, though at present, it is shrouded in blackness. Three characters are featured in the image, with the center figure bound by chains in a mysterious place. The series' familiar flying Reaver enemies are shown in the background cruising over a burning building.

The Gears of War franchise launched in 2006 with the praised original, which was followed by Gears of War 2 in 2008 and Gears of War 3 in 2011. A Gears of War Kinect project was reportedly in the works before Epic confirmed in April that this game had been canceled.

The big guns are coming out. Not expecting Gears 4, more of a prequel or side story.

I really hope it's a prequel. They finished the story really well, but there's tons of material of the events prior to the first game that would work well. By the looks of that cover, it could be based on the events that led to Marcus being imprisoned for dereliction of duty.

Just read that the studio People Can Fly will be involved in the development of this title. They and Epic teamed up nicely for Bulletstorm, but this has me just a little worried.
