Epic Games president Mike Capps says the company is “really excited” for E3, further hinting at the fact that some surprises worthy of its “epic” moniker are in store, the likes of which may include a new game announcement. Capps dropped the tease in a recent interview with VentureBeat during the Interactive Achievement Awards:

We might have a new one coming. I think E3 is going to be really exciting for fans of Epic.

Epic is working closely with People Can Fly on a yet to be unveiled shooter set to be published by EA, that much is known. Considering said project is due out early next year, an E3 appearance remains a distinct possibility. Then again, it could be something else entirely. Something really obvious. Like, say, Gears 3.
