Gears of War 2 info imminent?

The latest issue of US games mag

has got Xbox 360 fans excited thanks to its double mention of the as-of-yet unannounced Gears of War 2 on its cover.

No more details are known as of yet, though the news had reignited previous talk that Epic’s much-wanted sequel could see its first public unveiling at the Game Developers Conference at San Francisco later this month.

These rumours have been backed up by the claims that Epic has booked a rather large stand right next to Microsoft’s.

Upon its release in November 2006, Gears of War became an instant critical and commercial success, selling over three million copies in less than three months on sale.

Interestingly, the game was never released in Germany after it was denied a rating.
