Of course, there will be no sequel to the famous Gear of War game, but according to Epic Games, they said they'll be having a spin-off. Yes, Marcus Fenix, the badass with a gun, will be handling a golf club. Epic Games boss Mark Rein confirms that there is going to be a Gear of War Golf.

Most of us know Microsoft's big bad title, Gears of War. While we're not getting a sequel yet, Epic Games revealed that they're working on a spin-off. Marcus Fenix ain't taking a gun this time, he'll be taking the mustached plumber's lead and have a golf game of his own. Yes, Epic boss Mark Rein confirmed that it's gonna be Gears of War Golf.

Epic went through all the trouble to hear from a Korean publisher about making casual games using Unreal Engine 3, and the results sound good. Rein says "So we got an animator to make a golf swing for Marcus Fenix, and then a programmer took one of the Gears levels and added some mounds and stuff to make a course." GoW's grenade launching mechanic was used for the ball, so let's all hope it reaches the hole safely.

Unfortunately, the project is said to be internal for Epic Games so we won't be seeing the game's launch any time soon. Good things come to those who wait, and Gears of War Golf might be a promising title worth waiting for.

    Would make for a cool, if quirky, downloadable addition if they released it on the Marketplace as an add-on.

    I think someone is pulling our leg. Or is this Epic's idea of trying to pull a Rockstar moment?

    Possibly, but why would they joke over this. A lot of fans could take it seriously and really look forward to it and then get pissed seeing how they were fooled. I really can't imagine this, but you never know...

    And I quote myself: "...Are you kidding me"?
