No-one seems to remember way back in 2006 when Gears of War first came out, from day one it was set to be a trilogy, though over the last few months Epic have said things like “There are no plans for a GoW trilogy” and they were handling things on “a game by game basis.” Yet now it seems a third title MIGHT be coming. Hit the jump for more info.

Recently speaking to Official Xbox Magazine UK Cliff call me Cliffy B, oh wait don’t blah blah Bleszinski shut down rumors that he may be working on a new survival horror game, saying:

No, I’m not making a horror game next. Gears is very much near and dear to me. There’s only been two Gears games, man, there’s still plenty of opportunities for things you can do in a cover-based shooter, and there’s still a lot of stories to tell in the Gears universe. I’m not burned out on that at all.

New? Well that cannot be the single player element to the Dark Corners pack (Road to Ruin), that was a “deleted scene” from Gears 2. It wouldn’t take a conspiracy theorist to think that another game could well be in the works. What are your theories? Let us know
