This ranks 150 percent on the revelationometer: Epic’s planning DLC for Gears of War 3.
But speaking to EGTV, Epic design chief Cliff Bleszinski wouldn’t go into any specifics.
“Well, we do have plans for DLC,” said Bleszinski, “but we’re not really talking about it. We’re still trying to figure out what it is.”
He said he’d like to “do something completely crazy” with add-on content, and is apparently “a fan of DLC that takes risks.”
He said: “I think the DLC that’s been the biggest success in the past have been the ones that have been consistent, like every so many months, like Borderlands or Fallout.
“And they also play with the formula a little bit, you know – like Fallout adding in giant robots and UFOs, that doesn’t feel like it was on the cutting-room floor.”

Gears of War 3 will land on planet earth come April 2011 exclusively for the Xbox 360, and according to Epic Games Cliff Bleszinski, it’ll be the “best looking” Gears title to date.
Speaking on the Eurogamer TV Show, Bleszinski said they were hoping to make the third installment better, in every way than the prior titles.
“I like to say that Gears 3 is going to be the best looking, most fun and most feature rich and more importantly the most polished Gears game we’ve ever produced. It’s the beauty of shipping in April 2011 – it buy us that extra time to spit-shine it a little bit.”
