Rumor: Gears 3 and five player co-op in 2010
Even though Gears of War 2 released to retail about a month ago, that doesn't stop the sequel rumor mill from a churning. The latest Gears rumor to surface is word that Gears of War 3 is in development and EGM claims will be ready for release Christmas 2010. Even more rumor worthy, EGM adds that the third Gears installment will utilize a "five player co-op experience", which we're guessing is co-op campaign over Live.
But don't get too excited, because these exciting (and somewhat early) Gears 3 rumors have already been shot down by Epic's Mark Rein. Rein informed Eurogamer that the rumors are "total nonsense," adding that "we're still working on improvements to Gears 2." We say keep the Gears 2 updates coming, the DLC flowing and we'll shift our focus to Gears 3 in a year or two.
