gears-of-war-3-20100521040550746

Rod Fergusson has said over Twitter fans shouldn’t expect more DLC for Gears 3. “With the announce of the new Gears game, I can confirm that there’s no more DLC for Gears 3,” he said. “But we’re still having Gears Weekends and community events and playlists – lots of fun still to come.” The last DLC pack for Gears 3 was released in March and Epic said at the time it would be last pack released for the game unless “players are dying for it and they want it.” Guess not. The next Gears game will be revealed at the MS Press Event at E3 on Monday.

Quick Quotes – Epic on Gears of War 3′s on-disc DLC files

20110615gow3

“We’re not saying that everything on the disc is the product. The disc is another delivery mechanism. We had begun DLC packs early enough, and with the extension to our schedule. It meant we had that stuff done before we shipped. We felt it was a win/win, because no one is going to have to download anything huge when the DLC comes out.

“I think the thing that makes it muddy for people is when it’s on the disc. We could have left it off and said, ‘Hey, here’s another disc.’”

– Gears of War 3 executive producer Rod Fregusson responding to Kotaku‘s questions about the game’s on-disc, paid DLC.
