Microsoft has made it official at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2008 that Gears of War 2 will make it to the Xbox 360 in November. The GDC is the largest annual gathering of video game developers. Rumors regarding a sequel to the blockbuster Gears of War have been doing the rounds for a while now, and gamers everywhere seem very happy indeed. Gears of War 2 is said to be a larger-than-life story of epic proportions revolving around survival, loss, and such major things. It continues the story of Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad, who are locked in a desperate battle for the survival of humanity.
The sequel is being developed by Epic Games for Microsoft Game Studios. The announcement of the sequel was made by Cliff Bleszinski, lead designer of Epic Games, at the GDC. According to Bleszinski, "Gears of War 2 is an even bigger, better, and more badass experience than the first game, and we can't wait to get it in the hands of eager gamers this November." No specific details about the game have been disclosed -- except, of course, for the fact that the battle will continue -- but you can find more info about GOW as well as GOW2 here.
The first Gears of War was released in November 2006, and sold 3 million copies worldwide in the first 10 weeks of its release. In fact, it became so popular that New Line Cinema went ahead and acquired the rights to make a movie based on the game.
