Gears Of War: Exile Officially Cancelled

The rumors were that Exile was supposed to be a Gears of War title that would take advantage of the Kinect, but Cliff Bleszinski recently told GameSpot that the game has definitely been cancelled.

Bleszinski said, "let's just bury the hatchet now. Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can't give any details about that has since been cancelled."

Technically the game was never officially announced by Epic. A trademark for Gears of War: Exile was filed by Epic early last year , and that's how it was discovered.

  • That's a shame. I can't get enough Gears of War.
  • I can't say I feel like we have lost something. An on rails Kinect shooter sounds boring.
  • I don't feel bad if it was supposed to use Kinect.
  • Why is everything trying to take advantage of the Kinect? Nothing I have played on Kinect has ever been truly worth it. Controls never work when I want it to.
  • Good

  • "...but Cliff Blezinksi recently told..."

    "Blezinski said, "let's just bury..."

    Your killing me Kyle, now I'll never know how to spell his last name correctly!

  • If it was using Kinect, that could have been interesting. Epic would be able to give gamers that fancy the M-rated game something at least. Too bad it was shelved.
  • Never played Gears of War, but even i know such a good franchise shouldn't be spoiled by a kinect game.

  • Hmmmmm... perhaps this was meant to be. Maybe they buried it in the desert.
  • WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    NOW THAT'S A DAMN SHAME...

  • Looks like Gears Of War was done last year.
  • I don't see how a Gears of War game could possibly use Kinect in a meaningful way.
  • Thank God! Gears of War does NOT belong on Kinect. I'd much rather see resources spent on a next-gen Gears game or more Gears 3 DLC.

  • The Gears of War franchise made alot of money Microsoft isn't gonna let a cash cow die. There will be some kind of spin off just like Halo had with Reach.
  • Say it ain't sooo...

  • this game has been left in excile...

  • A Gears of War game with Kinect? Ugh.

  • It's always a shame when a game gets canceled before details are even  released. Now we won't even know if it turned out to be a quality game, in spite of having to use Kinect to control it.

  • Not so sure how I would feel about a Kinect Gears game...
  • This is probably for the better, I love GOW and have kinect, but combining the two would suck, kinect hasn't added much to any games, the only time I've use it is in ME3 for voice commands
