Gears of War is going to be a trilogy

According to Microsoft VP Jeff Bell, the Gears of War just released is part 1 of a planned Gears trilogy. In an interview, he accidentally slipped up on his wording and let the trilogy out of the bag.

Here is what Jeff Bell said:

“Gamers today demand an excellent story in their games; they need to know what’s at stake, and why they should care. Excitement tops the list of desired emotions, but they want to be scared, too. They want the rush that comes from being scared by an enemy or trapped in a dark room and escaping with their lives. The goal of this ad is to establish Marcus Fenix as the hero of the Gears of War trilogy. The intention is to create emotional connection with him that is lacking in typical third-person action title marketing, by communicating a sense of desperation, loneliness, overwhelming odds, and the ultimate futility of the situation he faces.”

Gears of War has become one of the best game titles to come out in a long time and definitely the best game for the Xbox 360. It also recently overtook Halo2 as the most played game on Xbox Live and continues to grow rapidly.
