Epic drops not-so-subtle Gears of War clue [update 1]

Over on the Gears of War Forums, Epic's Mark Rein recently posted an announcement announcing an announcement — and not just any announcement, but a 'BIG' announcement that's coming next week. The release date Emergence Day, right? Maybe not ... further down the thread, Mark teases, "...maybe the announcement that is going to be made isn't what you think it is." So be it — just as long as it's not a rehash of the GIGANTOUR tour partnership or theatre-bound trailer. You did get those memos, didn't you, Mark?

Here's to hoping the news lives up to the frickin' font size. Stay tuned.

[Update: It was what we thought it was. Emergency Day is November 12th. Who'da thunk?]
