Mark this as just a rumor for now, but Lester "Mighty Rasta" Speight, better known as the voice of Gears of War’s "Cole Train," may have just unofficially announced the release date of Epic Games’ upcoming Gears of War 2.
The charismatic actor was recently on hand at the Wizard World convention in Philadelphia, where he spoke at the TriForce panel about the company’s life-sized Gears of War replica weapons. Members of the press questioned the panel about the sequel’s release date, and while TriForce representatives refused to comment, Speight volunteered that they might consider asking him again on November 16.
This comment was overheard by David Hinkle from DS and Wii Fanboy, and while it was by no means an official statement, the date sounds very believable. Lead designer Cliff Bleszinski previously stated that the Gears of War 2 would indeed arrive sometime in November.
