Well that was a bit unexpected, no? Personally, I'm pretty excited about the possibility of playing as Gears of War's Marcus and Dom in Lost Planet 2, but you're probably wondering how this whole thing came about, right? Epic's Cliff Bleszinski has the deets for you over on Kotaku:

How did this crossover happen?

Capcom contacted Epic. It seems that it's as simple as that.

"They [Capcom] contacted us about the cameo and we said 'heck yeah,'" Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski tells Kotaku. "We're mutual fans of each other's work and crossovers are darned cool so we sent over the Marcus and Dom models for implementation."

Pretty simple. Don't forget to check out the amazing vids that we posted up this morning.

What say you, Capcom Unity? Excited? Indifferent? Shout out in the comments below!
