Press release :


LONDON – 13 April 2010 - The spectacular conclusion to one of the games industry’s most memorable and celebrated sagas, “Gears of War 3,” is poised to take the world by storm next spring. At this time next year, fans around the world will experience the epic story finale to the “Gears of War” trilogy when the third instalment in one of the biggest franchises in Xbox history arrives in stores April 8, 2011 in Europe.

“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 acclaimed studio Epic Games and available only on Xbox 360, “Gears of War 3” plunges players into a harrowing tale of hope, survival, and brotherhood that will conclude the current story arc for “Gears of War.” With the last human city destroyed and the remaining survivors stranded, time is running out for Marcus and his comrades as they fight to save the human race from the jaws of extinction.

“Gears of War” is a blockbuster entertainment franchise that has inspired a full line of toys and collectibles, apparel, an upcoming film, graphic novels and a book series by New York Times best-selling author Karen Traviss. The award-winning video games have sold more than 12 million units worldwide, and due to their riveting multiplayer action, are some of the most popular games ever played on Xbox LIVE.

To accompany today’s announcement, Microsoft and Epic Games unveiled “Ashes to Ashes”, the first trailer for “Gears of War 3.” Created in Unreal Engine 3 by the same team behind the iconic “Gears of War” video spots (“Mad World,” “Rendezvous,” and “Last Day”), the video captures a desperate three-way battle between Delta Squad, the Locust Horde, and the fearsome new Lambent.

Additionally, fans who want to share their excitement on Xbox LIVE will be able to choose from new Avatar items, available on Avatar Marketplace starting April 20, including the new COG armor introduced in “Gears of War 3.”

I just hope multiplayer works out of the box this time, with all the bugs and shitty matchmaking implementation of 2 i never gave the multiplayer a proper chance. Within a week it had lost me for good and i've never went back even though i loved the MP in the first game.

How very inappropriate. I get the feeling they're trying to imply an emotional deep-digging story, while there really is none. I mean, there is a story, but I really didn't give a crap about it. The game will be cool no doubt though.

Fix the laggy connection first, then we can talk about co-op.

disappointing it wasn't gameplay..but that was pretty much a given with Gear's reveals.

I hope this one's better written. They made a big thing about the improved story structure of the second.. forcing personalitys in characters that, though iconic looking, offer little in the way of personality. They really need to get some professional writers on board, and learn how to pace a game better with it's narrative.

One thing that the trailer does atleast confirm is that cover wont be the lasting safe haven anymore with those tenticle things. Hopefully 4 player co-op is on board too

awesome choice of music, game looks very much like gears so no real surprise there. it's so desaturated that i may as well be black and white tho.

i agree with bleaches tho, they made a big deal about the story in the second and it was frankly, rubbish. hopefully they get it right this time around.

Gears doesn't need ''Oscar worthy'' story as some other games.
Give me as good campaign as Gears2 (up to 4 players confirmed - hell yeah), updated Horde mode - bigger maps + bosses. And this thing will be well worth the 60 bucks for me. :P
Good trailer. Better than crappy reveal teaser for previous game.

Pretty uninspiring trailer. Not that it was bad, but it's a pretty bog standard trailer; think up a simple set piece, slap on some popular music... BAM, trailer.

I for one prefer single player, but gears on your own is some boring shit gears of war 2 was a lot better on your own, but in CoOp with some one who is massively into it all and wont talk during cut scenes etc is unbeatable.

i agree, i didnt even play the second one on my own, not enough interest in the games to do it. in co-op tho i'll happily play through it. the same will be the case for gears 3. rent it, run through it in co-op, have a blast, and be done with it.

The campaign in Gears 2 was sheer awesome. The story was meh, but the whole package had the feeling of a brainless 90s action-movie...which is a good thing....every now and then...

Too bad the "gameplay" was never as in your face or crazy as in the first, too much focus on setpieces and gimmicks to traverse levels like the centaurm and betty.

i just ask a middle ground for the best hardcore shooter IP around.

horrible trailer in terms of design. Such dramatic scenes just wont ever fit Gears. Same like Dom and his "Mariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" stuff in GoW2.


Looking forward to horde mode and Co-op campaign. Multiplayer will be glitched like hell anyway...


P.S. The girl is Anya, btw ;)

blah.. female one.. i guess we're gonna be forcing some romance with Marcus into the plot...untill she dies at the end.

But atleast Dom's got a beard now - hell yeah!! i got chills!!! lol

I have no idea how they can save the gear's story now from not indulging in cheese.. will take somebody talented, but i don't think it's their true focus anyway. I'm surprised the Crysis 2 writers not bad mouthed the story yet - he's jumping on every other game (foolishly)

I just hope the visual's are consistant this time round. Gears 2 flip flopped between looking mouth openingly awesome..to looking very meh. Gears has always been a tool to sell the engine on as much as a solid franchise. Hopefully they'll go all out on what must be Epics last push using it
