Epic Games president interested in continuing Gears of War franchise

Posted By | On 09th, Mar. 2011

Epic President, Mike Capps, said in an interview at GDC that there could be more content left to come in the ever popular Gears of War franchise.

“It’s a really good question. If no one buys Gears 3 [laughs] I’ll tell you what the future is right now. I’m hoping it’ll be the biggest entertainment launch this year, but it might not be. So it is definitely a trilogy and the story is a trilogy; I think people will get that experience when they reach the end. I don’t want gamers to feel cheated. At the same time, I’ve worked on the comics, we’ve got the novels… there’s a ton of stories in this universe. There’s certainly more space to tell a different story if we wanted to,” he said.

“We don’t have an exact plan for ‘here’s what we’re doing next’ but I think we’ll wait and see and maybe give folks a little rest for a while.”

More GoW is always a good thing in my book.

Thanks to industry gamers for the info.
