Gears of War 2 Remastered
During the night, the social profiles of Gears of War published a new post, an image that shows the platelets held firmly in the hand by an unidentified character. So far, nothing strange, except that the artwork in question closely resembles a detail of the cover of Gears of War 2.As you will remember, in the cover of the game Marcus tightens his own plates. , a detail that certainly did not go unnoticed and that immediately made us think of a possible teaser for Gears of War 2 Definitive Edition. It must be said that the reference is certainly possible but it is not certain that the image is linked to GOW 2 and the announcement could refer to new content for Gears 5.
According to some insiders The Coalition would have great plans for the future of Gears and in addition to Gears 6 there would also be other titles in development for the next few years. Among these is also Gears of War 2 Remastered? The sources speak mainly of spin-offs and no re-editions of old games are mentioned, but at present it is not possible to exclude this idea.
In 2018 a trailer for Gears of War 2 Definitive Edition was even leaked on the web , then removed without explanation. Since then we haven't heard anything more about it ... is it time to unveil this project?
Update - The Coalition denied that the image is linked to Gears of War 2 Remastered, confirming that the teaser is linked to the next contents of Gears 5.
Was Gears Of War 2 Remastered Just Teased? Fans Would Like To Believe So
Something is happening behind the scenes which fans believe (or would love to believe) has to do with a Gears of War 2 remastered announcement.
Taking to Twitter earlier today, the official Gears of War account teased an image showing an unidentified hand holding a few COG tags. The image shares similarities with the box art of Gears of War 2 where protagonist Marcus Fenix was holding COG tags as well. Hence, fans were quick to assume that the account was possibly teasing Gears of War 2 remastered.
There has been no official acknowledgement from either developer or publisher since then. The account however did return to remind that Gears 5 still remains a primary focus. The teaser image from before hence may have nothing to do with Gears of War 2 remastered but might as well be for new content that The Coalition will be pushing for Gears 5 in an upcoming season.
Gears of War 2 was released exclusively for Xbox 360 back in 2008 under the leadership of producer Rod Fergusson and designer Cliff Bleszinski. Both developers have since then moved on to find new homes with Fergusson now overseeing Diablo at Blizzard Entertainment and Bleszinski rebounding from the closure of his co-founded Boss Key Productions studio a few years back.
Gears of War 2 remastered would actually be a massive move since the original was only playable on a single platform. With Xbox Game Pass and the involvement of Xbox Game Studios, Microsoft could do well to bring back the second installment in the franchise for new audience.
