Mark Rein confirmed today that a new game type will be coming to Gears of War’s multiplayer, called Annex. No word on how the game will play out, but given the name, I’d expect it’ll be some sort of territory holding game.
From the Epic forums:
The next title update for Gears of War is currently going through the certification process. We’ll have more detail about the update next week but I can tell you that in addition to fixing a whole bunch of glitches, and providing 720p for VGA users running at 1280×1024, it will contain a brand new multiplayer gametype called Annex.
Some folks who got to play it a few weeks ago said they think it is our best multiplayer gametype yet but I’ll leave it for you fans to decide what you think for yourself when it shows up soon on Xbox Live. More details next week.
So good news for all, it seems. I’d imagine we’ll see this update his in late April or early May.
