Last November, we heard a rumor that a Gears of War game for Kinect was to be unveiled at the Spike TV Video Game Awards in December. A Gears of War announcement was planned for the show, but Microsoft decided to cancel the announcement prior to the event.

Whether or not that canceled announcement was the Gears of War Kinect game is unclear. However, a new report has surfaced claiming that the game is real and is an on-rails shooter. Kotaku was provided with the details and the image above from a demo of the game which reuses some of the content from Gears of War 2.

Last month, an Epic Games trademark surfaced for something called Gears of War: Exile. That could very well be any number of things unrelated to a Gears Kinect game. It does make you wonder, though, if that's what we were supposed to hear about back in December.
