Gears of War dev to reveal 'fresh' new game at VGAs
by Andrew Yoon, Dec 05, 2011 11:30am PSTThe Spike TV Video Game Awards may be short on actual award-giving, but it will certainly have a lot of new game announcements. Add one more to the list: Epic Games' North Carolina studio, best known for its work on the Gears of War trilogy, will be revealing a new game this Saturday.
Cliff Bleszinski describes the new project as "entirely new and fresh," which should be a refreshing change after six years on the Gears franchise.
Bleszinski was supposed to reveal a new IP during Games Developer Conference earlier this year. However, that never came to fruition--likely due to the lengthy delay Gears of War 3 received. It's likely that this VGA announcement is the same one meant for GDC.

I want Epic to challenge themselves to start a project that is so far away from the Unreal Warfare art style. With their announced approach of 4 smaller games, one of their projects could fit into that. That same project could be something adjacent to what they're announcing at the VGAs. Hell, they could remake Epic Pinball; that would be awesome (but might involve some sort of legal wrangling with Digital Extremes, since that was developed by James Schmalz).
