If you checked out our preview last month, then you're already familiar with some of the visual upgrades and welcome control tweaks that make an appearance in Gears of War 2. On a technical level, the team has succeeded, although as a whole, Gears of War 2 isn't quite the gameplay revolution that its predecessor was when it debuted.

With Gears of War 2, Epic has attempted to recapture the same level of success by producing a game better than its predecessor. It not only moved games, but it also moved consoles. Coming on the heels of Epic's popular Unreal Tournament franchise (and partially serving as a demo of the latest version of the Unreal Engine), the original Gears of War was a stellar success. But hey, maybe that won't turn out to be true at all and something else out of left field could be announced in the near future.When you think of action games and Microsoft, two titles immediately come to mind: Bungie's Halo series and Epic's Gears of War. With this in mind, The Coalition is likely teasing something here that has to do with the future of Gears 5. Operation 5 in Gears 5 has been going on for quite some time now, which means that Operation 6 is set to begin relatively soon. The comparisons between that art and this image, while they aren't exact, are close enough for fans to easily draw comparisons.Īs mentioned before, however, it's very likely that this teaser isn't meant for a Gears of War 2 remaster of any sort.

That game's cover features one of the main protagonists of the franchise, Marcus Fenix, holding a number of COG tags in his hand. The reason why many fans think that a remaster of Gears of War 2 is what's being teased here is because the image is quite similar to the box art from the second chapter in the franchise. No caption was provided alongside the photo, which made fan theories run even more rampant. The screenshot in question showed an unidentified hand holding a number of COG tags, which are essentially the equivalent of dog tags in the Gears of War universe. The tease itself was shared this afternoon on social media and came in the form of a lone image.
