In a surprising moment for the world of video games, Microsoft has hinted that Xbox-exclusive Gears of War 4 is set to arrive ahead of schedule this year.
For an industry very familiar with delays – recently Uncharted 4 had its release date pushed back – it’s a refreshing twist to hear that gamers might not have to wait as long as expected to play something.
Having initially said the game would be available for “holiday 2016″, Microsoft has now revised this to “fall”. A move that given how the game looks so far, is likely to only be greeted with smiles from fans.
