Gears of War 3 release date confirmed

Gunning for glory

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Hardcore gamers should grab their diaries and mark down 20 September as the day Gears of War 3 is released.

The hugely successful franchise was originally penned in for release this April, but Microsoft later said it had to be pushed back.

Gears of War 3

The story continues 18 months after GoW 2, with familiar characters continuing to battle the Locust in a bid to save mankind.

As well as a bunch of fresh maps and weapons to look forward too, we've been promised a five-on-five multiplayer experience and four player campaign mode. Brrring it on. ®
