Capps admitted that there was plenty more that they could do with the Gears universe as well as bringing the original trilogy out on the but they'll probably give it a rest for a while after Gears 3 is released.

On the future of Gears he said: "It's a really good question. If no one buys Gears 3 [laughs] I'll tell you what the future is right now. I'm hoping it'll be the biggest entertainment launch this year, but it might not be. So it is definitely a trilogy and the story is a trilogy; I think people will get that experience when they reach the end. I don't want gamers to feel cheated. At the same time, I've worked on the comics, we've got the novels... there's a ton of stories in this universe. There's certainly more space to tell a different story if we wanted to. We don't have an exact plan for 'here's what we're doing next' but I think we'll wait and see and maybe give folks a little rest for a while."

Capps added on the possibility of other new IPs: "So yeah, we have been working on some internal IP that would be from the Raleigh studio. Nothing to say yet, but we're a pretty small company, so it's hard to make an all-hands-on-deck Gears of War title and something new."

Thanks IndustryGamers.
