In a recent interview with IGN , star of the first Gears of War game, John DiMaggio, the voice of Marcus Fenix (and Bender on Futurama), gave some tidbits of information on the sequel that is scheduled for a November 2008 release. John states that the Brumak, which was not a fightable enemy in the first Gears of War, will be in the sequel, as well there will be loads of new weapons, larger enemies and new characters to meet through the game. All in all, John describes the sequel to the smash hit Gears of War as “bad ass”.
