Gears of War: Exile Has Been Canceled

Gears of War: Exile Has Been Canceled

None

A while back, there was a rumor that Epic Games would be working on a new Gears of War title called Gears of War: Exile. Exile was speculated to be a Kinect title that could possibly be an on-rails shooter, in development at Epic’s Cary, North Carolina studio.

Unfortunately, it seems as if this title will never see the light of day. Epic design director, Cliff Bleszinski, told GameSpot over the weekend that the project has been trashed.

“Let’s just bury the hatchet now,” he said. “Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can’t give any details about that has since been cancelled.”



It’s possible that Epic is holding on to their design plans for Exile, in the hopes of possibly integrating some aspects of the game into a future Gears title, or perhaps some new IP. That would explain why Bleszinski is still being so tight-lipped about it. However, don’t get your hopes up. Games get canceled all the time and the Kinect has already long since fallen out of favor in the eyes of the hardcore gaming crowd.
