Cliff Bleszinksi to debut new game next week

gears22b

But there’s a catch: you’ll have to watch Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night show to find out about it.

Not so excited now, are you?

“Game designer Cliff Bleszinski debuts his new game on Late Night next Thur. Set your TiVos! And your Xboxes,” tweeted Jimmy Fallon, presumably before turning to stare at some imaginary camera and laughing at his own joke out of reflex.

That’s April 8, for those of you who don’t believe in calendars. So, to quote Eurogamer’s Ellie Gibson: “Gears of War 3 Gears of War 3 Gears of War 3?” [Bang on cue, then - JC].

Well, to answer your… that’s sort of a question, we guess, signs point to yes. What signs? Well, try the cover of the newly resucissitated EGM, for one. See that block of text that Ryu’s getting ready to punch? Now direct your eyes toward the top of it. “Gears of War 3,” it says.

Magazine covers don’t lie. Ever. Gears of War 3′s gonna be announced next week.

Also, bigfoot is real, Lady GaGa’s a man, and Elvis is still alive. Huh. Could Lady GaGa be Elvis in disguise? Only one way to find out for sure. To the magazine rack!

Thanks, Shacknews.

(It could also be People Can Fly’s Bulletstorm. But we highly, highly doubt it.)

I don’t think so that it is Gears Of War 3. I mean, i remember they started a new game no?

It’s Gears of Love. Marcus and Dom finally get it on.

I’d be very surprised if this was Gears of War 3.

To set things straight (hello Blerk), I’d love it to be GoW3, but…

…is Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Show the most appropriate place they could come up with to announce something like this?

I mean E3 is just around the corner…

I’m sure MS would be publishing Gears 3, and they’d want it at their E3 show. So i doubt its that.

Totally agree. Gears 3 would be a real jewel in MS’s E3 show, why let that slip out of the gate early, and if it’s a new IP from Epic that’s MS exclusive, I’m sure they would want that at their E3 booth too.

My money is on a new multiplatform IP. God knows they need a decent new showcase title for Unreal engine 3, what with Crytek stealing all the limelight with their new engine, and making it another 360 exclusive would be a quite serious blow to their status as a cutting edge multi platform engine developer.

@11 I hope Crytek will steal Epic slice of pie. I just hope.

As much as I like Gears, Epic, and Billy Cliff, I refuse to watch Jimmy Fallon anything.
