In news that probably won’t surprise anybody, Epic’s Rod Fergusson has said that Gears of War 3 will bring “closure” to the current narrative arc, but that the franchise isn’t done and dusted just yet. Next up: Kinect Thrashball.
“We’re not blowing up the world so Sera and the Gears universe will live on, but for us we didn’t want to betray our customers and community by having a cliff-hanger ending where you’re like ‘argh I just got duped, now I’ve gotta wait until the next game’,” Fergusson tells CVG. “We wanted to have closure, we wanted people to have some satisfaction that they were along for this ride and they lived through a story.
“We’re not going to reveal everything because we want some mystique left in our universe, but this is the Marcus Fenix story and people should feel satisfied after playing through that.”
He also promises that Gears of War 3 is “the best Gears that Epic has never made”, but if he said it wasn’t, nobody would buy it.
