The word on the virtual street is that Cliff Bleszinski has made some cryptic remarks regarding a possible female playable character in a possible future Gears of War game. Will gamers finally be able to play as a female in the Gears of War series? That’s the question Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski was asked by 1 vs. 100 Live host Chris Cashman during a game this past Saturday, according to Binge Gamer.

Bleszinski danced around the question and said he couldn’t comment on ’possible aspects’ of a game that ’may or may not’ be in development.” He then followed up on his comment by saying the female character sitting on top of a dead Brumak from the comic series “’may or may not’ be involved in any ’as-yet-unannounced’ video game projects.”

Of course, what should probably be focussed on here is the fact that Cliff’s statement pretty much boils down to a standard “no comment” response given by developers when asked a question about any possible unannounced title. While it’s pretty likely we’ll see another Gears game in the future, Cliff is a long way off actually “hinting” at any possible Gears of War 3 characters.
