Gears of War VGA Reveal Postponed

Tonight Spike's VGA awards get underway but there's some disappointing news for Gears of War fans. A Gears of War reveal/announcement was planned at the event but Major Nelson has confirmed that any news has now been postponed.

I have just learned of a decision to postpone our planned Gears of War news from Epic Games for the Spike Video Game Awards this weekend.  I wanted to share this with you and let you know that while these are never easy decisions, we can tell you that what we have to share for the franchise in 2011 will definitely be worth the wait and we look forward to working with our partner at Spike on sharing this world premier news when it is ready.

In a folow-up Twitter post, Epic's  Rod Ferguson puts the blame firmly at the feet of Microsoft:

"To be clear, the VGA announcement delay comes from Microsoft, not us."

There's going to be plenty of other gaming goodies revealed that will make up for the cancellation but it's still disappointing.
