New Gears of War confirmed

MCV Staff 31st May 2012 Business News

Master Chief is not the only one making a comeback – the COG forces will return in a brand new Gears of War title.

The shadowy teaser image you can see to the right is the cover of the latest issue of GameInformer, and the US mag reports it is from the next entry in Epic Games’ popular Xbox series.

The game will be officially unveiled on Monday, no doubt during Microsoft’s E3 press conference. The conference kicks off at 5pm GMT – that’s 9am for any of you that will be in the Los Angeles next week.

Speculation suggests the handcuffed figure is series protagonist Marcus Fenix, who was in prison at the start of the first Gears game. That means the new title could be a prequel, exploring what happened to Fenix during his imprisonment.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
