Remember when Josh Ortega said, “You will not be disappointed in the next ten years, it’s a ten-year plan. Gears is long-term. The lancer is the new lightsaber.”

Well according to the Vice President of Epic, Mark Rein, he may have got a little too excited. There is no 10 year plan for the game.

“No, we do not,” Rein said when asked if Epic had a franchise roadmap up to 2016.

“In this industry you can’t plan games very far in advance. We appreciate the enthusiasm Josh has for our franchise but we don’t have a ten-year plan.

“We always have ideas of where we’d like it to go but it’s determined on a game-by-game basis and ultimately by fan support. Our focus right now is supporting the Gears of War 2 game and community.”

“We’re working on the next title update for Gears of War 2 right now. When this title update is done we’ll start planning the next title update for Gears of War 2.”

So Josh appears to have gotten a tad too excited although it really isn’t a bad thing as everyone enjoys a spot of optimism now and then. Just he may have made quite a jump with the light saber statement. None the less it’s equally nice to know that they plan to keep updating GoW2 for quite some time.
