Good news folks, Gears of War 4 will probably happen!

In a Cliffy B interview on the GameSpot E3 2011 stage show, during the user questions segment near the end, there was a question about Gears of War 3 that lead into sequel talk.

Here’s what the game’s designer Cliff Bleszinski had to say about Gears of War 4: “But you know, if Gears [of War 3] does well, and maybe there’s another one, then that’s something we’ll consider.”

Obviously the third-person shooter’s millions of fans — me included — don’t want the series to end, so good news to hear a hint like this!
