What happens in trademark filing stays in trademark filing. Except when it doesn’t, which is most of the time. Accordingly, the trademark filing spy division over at Siliconera has spotted something called Gears of War: Exile, and managed to secure visual data with their secret trademark filing spy tech, mostly in the shape of a logo and nothing much else.
So, what it is? Eurogamer – whose corporate spy division is presumably off on assignment elsewhere – asked Epic Games, and Epic Games said, “We have no news to share at this time.”
Significantly, perhaps, Epic Games didn’t say, “There’s no such thing as Gears of War: Exile”. Let the speculation commence.
The developer was prepping some sort of Gears of War announcement for the Spike TV Video Game Awards last month, which was subsequently yanked for some reason or another.
“There’s a lot of strategising going on and at any point something may shift due to a strategic move that needs to happen. So I came out here potentially announcing something,” said Epic’s Cliff Blezsinki at the time. “It turns out the timing’s not right.”
Rumours of a Kinect-supported Gears of War title have been circling the bowl for some time now, and refusing to flush down.
