Reports coming from inside Game Informer say that Gears-heads will be getting an extra special treat at Monday’s Microsoft keynote, and while details are sparse on what CliffyB has in mind, all we know is that it’s going to be EPIC.

Sources say the game won’t actually be the fabled fourth installment in the series but, more likely, an spin-off following the misadventures of another COG squad. The title will be the first since EPIC’s explosive release of Bulletstorm last February, a game met with middling scores by both the press and fans.

GI subscribers will be getting the full release Monday as the publication promises to “pull back the curtain on both [the August edition's] covers” after the big event.

Better get that Lancer revved and ready, cause the Locusts are coming and they want War.
