Gears of War Writer Says Epic Has '10-Year Plan,' Suggests Single-player GoW2 DLC
by Chris Faylor, Feb 10, 2009 9:17am PSTDuring a panel at this year's New York Comic Con, Gears of War 2 writer Josh Ortega revealed that developer Epic has "a ten-year plan" for the action-centric franchise.
"Gears is long-term. The lancer is the new lightsaber," he added, according to IGN. The statements came in response to a question about a potential prequel.
Along with two video games, the series has spawned a comic book and a forthcoming feature film, which director Len Wiseman hopes will be the first of a trilogy. The initial game hit PC and Xbox 360, while the second has only appeared on Xbox 360.
Ortega also hinted that downloadable content may expand the single-player portion of Gears of War 2. After being asked about the possibility of single-player DLC, he told fans to "keep watching" and assured the crowd that they "won't be disappointed."

Each and every page was absolutely filled with scrawled guns and weapons.
One particularly impressive drawing - properly coloured in and everything - caught my eye: a gun the life size of a man, positively bristling with spikes, ammo pouches and photographs of ladies in the nud. A jet of flame, easily thirty foot long, spews forth from the seventeen barrels, incinerating a stick Locust who cries "Ahhhhhhh! No!!!!" The original label of "Deathbringer" was been thoroughly crossed-out and beneath it sat the final name "Killsprayer XL17".
Marvellous. Just marvellous.
Josh had apparently been visited by the muse for, as I looked on, he unfolded the dog-ear on a busy page and began to write:
