Gears of War 3 announced

Microsoft early this morning announced that the Gears of War trilogy will be receiving its third and final installment next spring.

“When we released ‘Gears of War’ more than three years ago, we set out to tell the world an unforgettable story of bravery and sacrifice in the face of insurmountable odds, and a year from now, players will get the chance to experience the final chapter in the story of Marcus Fenix and his companions in Delta Squad”, said Cliff Bleszinski, design director at Epic Games. “This is definitely the biggest and most dramatic chapter yet in the ‘Gears of War’ saga, and we can’t wait to deliver it”.

Developed by Epic Games and available exclusively on the Xbox 360, Gears of War 3 once again puts players in control of the Delta squad on the fictional planet Sera. With the last human city destroyed and the survivors stranded, Delta-One continues its battle against the Locust Horde and the Lambency, both of which continue to vie for control of The Hollow through civil war.

Gears of War 3 has an estimated North American release of April 5, 2011.

    Koreish A forgettable story of chest high walls and the sacrifices they made to protect your overly masculine ass.

    coldalarm I'm actually considering getting a 360 for this and GoW2 (I've played/completed GoW1 on a 360), because I did like the franchise a bit. Not to mention, of course, other franchises like Fable are on it.
    Would be very interested to see how this game turns out.
  6. Snarkasm
    Snarkasm I'll buy it. Got the first two for great multiplayer; third one offers 4-player co-op. Should be interesting.
  7. Cyclonite
    Cyclonite I'm looking forward to it. Had a blast playing the previous two with friends.

Howdy, Stranger!
