There's a new Gears of War game coming from Epic Games, people. While we don't have any details about the next game in the Gears series, we know when we'll know more about it. Microsoft's E3 press conference on Monday morning should reveal all (or at least some) of the details. We're hoping to check out some live gameplay from the next Gears of War as well.

 

The press conference is set to go off live, and we'll be streaming it here at G4tv.com, so check out ourE3 2012 site on Monday for everything Microsoft, as well as tons of E3 2012 trailers, news, interviews and more.

 

The only other piece of information about the game comes by way of the cover of the next magazineGame Informer. Click the "Read More" tag to check it out.

In the absence of any confirmed information, perhaps you could fill in the blanks with what you expect to see (or would like to see) in the next Gears of War game?

A few brief observations:

  • The guards on either side of the page appear to be holding Mark II Lancers, judging by the blue glow on the sights (which do not appear on the 'Retro Lancer' in Gears of War 3.
  • This suggests the game will be set some time into the Locust War, as the Retro Lancer wasn't phased out until a year or so after E-Day.
  • The Reavers in the background are also something of a giveaway.
  • The helmets on said guards are the same model as those on the Onyx Guards in Gears of War 3, as their eyes are lit up in bands rather than solid blocks.
  • The head shape of the shadowy figure in the centre matches that of Chairman Prescott, and the position and shape of the armour lights on his shoulders also fits in with his Gears of War 3 look.

Other than that, I'm really excited for this - excellent find, Tyrael! I remember Epic talking about how they weren't far off unveiling the newest version of the Unreal Engine a few months back and a new Gears of War game would be a great way to break it in, my only worry is that they seem to be rushing it out fairly quickly.

Maybe the new console is going to be revealed at E3, epic wants to start work on it right away and get it onto the next console quickly..but..they could slow down a bit haha. Would be nice if that happened and nice observations, kinda does look like chairman prescott..but why would he be arrested?

Based around E-Day maybe?

 

The silhouette is Prescott definitely

 

I don't think it's based around E-Day, the Lancers have the wrong sights - that model wasn't invented until a year or two into the war.

I have no idea why he'd be arrested, for him to be alive this'd need to be set pre-Gears of War 3 and if that was true, how could he have still gotten to Chairman?

 

Perhaps this is a younger Marcus Fenix? We know he was tried and imprisoned a whole ten years into the Locust war. Then again, it might just be a completely new character.

THIS IS AWESOME. I've been waiting to play some more Gears! I'm sad I sold my Gears 3... Why do I sell all these games that I love?

 

Well because you are a noob and should keep the best games and get rid of ones that you rarely play O_O. Anyways, this might be a younger marcus fenix. I wonder how this will turn out. Just please don't ruin the story guys :o.

I hope a new Gears of War is revealed. I absolutely love Gears of War, it is another skillful and enjoyable game which is made by very experienced game designers. Let us hope that more is revealed at E3.
