Well, okay, the surprise was somewhat ruined when someone leaked a certain video onto the internet. But today it’s been made official. The Xbox 360 hit Gears of War will be making its way towards the PC later this year.

Carrying the "Games for Windows" title, Gears of War PC will be compatible with both Windows XP and Vista. Additionally, the game will feature a variety of all-new content, including three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer game type, Game Editor, five new campaign chapters and DirectX 10 support.
