Gears of War 2 has shown some skin last week in an in-game video featuring a personal introduction by Epic Games Design Editor Cliff Bleszinski at Xbox LIVE. This video features the first in-game look at large scale fire fights and chainsaw duels with Locust Horde. Cliff already unveiled the game earlier this year at the Game Developers Conference.

Gears of War 2 is a follow-up to the best-selling Xbox 360 third-person shooter, Gears of War. The highly anticipated sequel is scheduled to be release this November exclusive for the Xbox 360 again.

Activision announced that the next game in the popular first-person shooter series will launch on most popular gaming consoles like the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and PC, and it will be out before the end of this fiscal year during a conference call with investors this week.

Of course, since 5 won’t be developed by Infinity Ward, who produced the award-winning, critically acclaimed fourth game in the series, we can’t be sure that this year’s entry will be as good.

The fifth game in the series will not be produced anymore by Infinity Ward, the company that produced the award-winning and critically acclaimed Call of Duty 4 so this is something every Call of Duty fans have to watch out for.

What war or era will this new game cover? Will it spawned on the Call of Duty 4’s Modern Warfare genre or will be much more advanced? Will the 5th edition be better or worse? That’s the million dollar question my friend.

And that is something to keep us glued for the release this year.
