New Gear of War Website, Demo Rumor Debunked

As Emergence Day inches closer, Microsoft have announced a new Gears of War website, and we are also able to debunk a recent rumor regarding a demo appearing for the game.

First off, there are the demo rumors, which appear to have been started by several online gaming publications. These can now be officially refuted, as Mark Rein (VP of Epic Games) has stated there is no demo coming (for now at least) on the official Gears of War forums. You can check out his post here.

Secondly, Microsoft have released a new Gears of War website, the details of which you can read up on below.

With the threat of Emergence Day on the horizon, Microsoft Game Studios released a new “Gears of War” site that allows gamers inside the mind of its lead character, Marcus Fenix. The site, which can be found at http://www.gearsofwar.com/, immerses gamers through a series of disturbing flashback videos that foretell various aspects of the game’s storyline and highlight the uniquely destroyed beauty of the games environment.

Visitors to the site can also pre-order “Gears of War,” visit the community forums, share the site with a friend, or register to join the Xbox community for exclusive updates.

“Gears of War” thrusts gamers into humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. Blending the best of tactical action games with the best of survival horror titles, “Gears of War” features cinematic, beautifully rendered interactive environments with high-definition visuals. “Gears of War” will launch on 17th November 2006 in Europe
