Microsoft, as well as Cliffy B’s Twitter feed, has announced that Gears of War 3 will be delayed from its original April 8 2011 launch, to a “fall 2011″ release. The internet promptly broke in half as fanboys cried out in infamy.

According to Epic Games, the move was a simple business decision and “not a development slip”.


“I know fans are going to be disappointed with the new release date, but rest assured that this is a business decision between partners, and not a quality issue,” said executive producer Rod Fergusson. “Gears 3 was on track to be the most polished Gears of War game ever when it released in April, and this additional time allows us to polish it that much more before it hits shelves next fall.

Cliff Bleszinsky, after receiving both kudos and criticism on his twitter feed reminded us all that “a ‘delayed game’ is only ‘late’ until it ships. A bad game is shit forever”. You’ve got to hand it to him, he has a point.

So that’s Gears 3, moved to “fall 2011″.
