No Gears of War 2 for Japan or Germany
Posted by XanTium | October 22 11:33 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From edge-online.com:
[QUOTE]
A Miscrosoft spokesperson has told Edge that Epic's long-awaited Gears of War 2 will not be released in Japan.
"We can confirm that Gears of War 2 will not be available in Germany or Japan indefinitely" said the spokesperson.

The news may come as a shock to many observers as the original Gears of War was one of the first titles to crack the Japanese software charts during a time when the 360 console was selling at its slowest.

The reasons why the game will not be released remain unclear. In May this year Germany's ratings organization declined to issue the game an age certificate.
