LONDON - 23 February 2011 - Get your calendar out, get a pen, and mark
the 20th September 2011 as the day when Gears of War 3, this year's
biggest blockbuster title, launches worldwide.
Gears of War 3 is the glorious conclusion to one of the most memorable
sagas in video games' history and this is a date you certainly don't
want to miss.
The story takes place eighteen months after the events of Gears of War 2 and the loss of the human stronghold of Jacinto. Marcus, Baird, Dom and company continue their fight to save human civilisation, as they battle the Locust and face new threats from within the planet throughout the
campaign mode.
Here is what else you can expect from 2011's most highly anticipated game:
· An enthralling cinematic story that captivates players in an intimately intense action game
· Five-on-five multiplayer experience as well as four player campaign co-op experience
· New multiplayer game modes including 'Beast Mode' - offering a new
twist to the game where you take on the role of the locust horde and
their assorted variations!
· New maps including: Trenches which features an impressive sand storm
that reduces your visibility, as well as Overpass, Mercy, Checkout, and
Thrashball
· New weapons including: The Bayonet Charge, The Retro Lancer, The
Sawed-off Shotgun, The OneShot - a heavy sniper rifle that shoots
through shields or cover for a surprise one shot kill, The Incendiary
Grenade, The Digger Launcher and a few subtle tweaks to old favourites
Hammerburst and The Classic Lancer. Don't forget that each weapon now
has its own execution move!
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep your eyes peeled for more news on the Official Multiplayer Public Beta coming soon!
