Epic’s Design Chief Cliff Bleszinski has today revealed that he would be shocked if the Gears of War franchise didn’t create a fourth game and perhaps even more.
Ripten asked if Epic is going to finish of the series after the trilogy concludes with Gears of War 3. To which Cliff replied, “Well, there’s always the Peter Jackson route, right? Do The Hobbit or something like that. I mean, we’re business people. Gears 1 and 2 sold about 6 million copies, so if this game comes out and, God willing, sells 8 or 10 million it would be completely dumb to not do another one, right?
“It’s just business 101. So, I mean, the key is figuring out what’s appropriate. What makes sense for this connected world that we’re moving into? So, that remains to be seen. That’s the million dollar question…”
Gears of War 3 will “answer the majority of the questions that players have about the history of the world and what’s going on.” You will once again take control of Marcus in a story penned by science fiction authour Karen Traviss.
The game is still set for it’s release in September despite the recent torrent leaks.
