Epic's Mark Rein promises another Gears update

Gears of War is likely to receive another gameplay update in the future, which will improve the roadie run, as well as add new achievements pertinent to both Annex and the new Hidden Fronts maps.

Although Microsoft's current strategy mostly involves forward-looking titles such as Halo 3, Epic's Mark Rein wants to remind Xbox 360 gamers that his studio hasn't forgotten about the people who have already bought his game. In a recent message posted on the official Gears of War forums, the Epic VP stated that his team is currently working on an update to the game that will fix a number of gameplay issues.

"In addition to the previously mentioned plan to improve roadie run we're also going to have new achievements relating to Annex and the Hidden Fronts DLC," Rein writes. "Of course no title update would be complete without more exploit squashing and the ever-popular 'general housekeeping'."

Although he also states that Epic has so far made "significant progress", Rein is reluctant to slap on even a hypothetical timeframe for the update. Epic and Microsoft will most likely make a formal announcement regarding the patch's availability in the days or weeks leading up to its eventual release.
