No Gears of War 2 at E3

Don't be daft, says Epic.

Epic Games has said that a sequel to Gears of War will not be unveiled at E3.

Rumours have been floating around in the last couple of days that a trailer for a second Gears game will be among Microsoft's big reveals during its press conference - taking place close to Santa Monica's E3 Media & Business Summit next month.

Epic's Mark Rein disagrees. "We are not announcing a sequel to Gears of War at E3 this year," he told Beyond Unreal. "Did you see the update we just did for Gears of War last week? We're still working on the first one."

Did you see it? No? Then perhaps you should head this way. There are new Achievements and everything. Actually that's mostly it.
