No "ten-year plan" for Gears of War
News - Epic VP controls rumours
According to Epic VP Mark Rein, there is currently no "ten-year plan" in place for the Gears of War series.
Rein's statement comes shortly after Gears writer Joshua Ortega had enthused about the future of the franchise at the New York Comic-Con.
"In this industry you can't plan games very far in advance. We appreciate the enthusiasm Josh has for our franchise but we don't have a ten-year plan." Rein told VG247.
"We always have ideas of where we'd like it to go but it's determined on a game-by-game basis and ultimately by fan support. Our focus right now is supporting the Gears of War 2 game and community."
Speaking to a panel at NYCC 09, Ortega had said: "It's a ten-year plan. Gears is long-term."
Well it's certainly not the first time a writer has got carried away...
