The lovely folks over at Game Informer have just unveiled the cover for their upcoming July issue, and it's a bit of a doozy. Gears of War fanatics craving more chainsaw-on-chainsaw bloodshed will have something grand to look forward to, as a brand new game in the franchise has been announced.
Will it be a prequel, detailing the events before Marcus was eventually locked up for insubordination? Who knows at this point, as the image above is the only tidbit of information released at this point before the title is fully revealed on Monday during the Microsoft press conference.
I will say that it would be rather hard to continue the story-arc after the events that transpired in Gears of War 3. And the character engulfed in shadow doesn't really appear to look like Marcus, but this is all speculation on my part. I am quite taken aback at how soon this announcement is being made, as the third entry only came out around eight months ago. But I'll hold off on my opinion until I actually see the game and learn more about it.
Update: The game is now called Gears of War: Judgement and it stars the familiar faces of Damon Baird and Augustus "Cole Train" Cole in what is officially an Xbox 360 prequel. Yeah, this is ancient news at this point, but I felt like I had to bring a sort of closure to this post.
