Enkele dagen geleden doken al de vermoedelijke achievements op van Gears of War 2. Inmiddels heeft Microsoft een meer formele, bijgewerkte lijst met achievements onthuld, inclusief drie ‘linked achievements’.
Verder sprak Cliff Bleszinski kort over een eventuele PC-versie, aangezien de eerste Gears of War later ook nog voor de PC verscheen. Deze keer ziet het er naar uit dat PC-gamers voorlopig niet al te veel hoop moeten hebben, want Cliff meldde: “We’re not going to do a PC version this time around.”
Gears of War 2 is het vervolg op de Xbox 360-topper uit 2006, die eind 2007 ook voor de PC-verscheen. Deze tweede game uit de trilogie wordt ontwikkeld met behulp van de Unreal Engine 3.5, waarmee we nog mooiere graphics mogen verwachten. Daarnaast bevat de game vier nieuwe wapens, extra melee moves en is het mogelijk om luchtvoertuigen te besturen. Ook de speelduur van de game wordt door Epic aangepakt, want de game zal een dubbele speelduur krijgen vergeleken met het origineel.
Gears of War 2 komt op 7 november uit voor de Xbox 360.
