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.
Looks like someones getting fired.. Gears of War 3 - The epic story concludes April, 2011! Officially announced via the Xbox 360 Dashboard.. Ooops..
It was leaked on the Xbox Dashboard last night that Gears of War 3 (which, lets face it, we all knew it was coming) would be coming out April 2011. The picture, which was captured by 1UP.com was taken last night before Microsoft had a chance to take it down.
More than likely, Cliff Bleszinski was going to announce Gears of War 3 officially on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this week before being bumped in favor of the annoyingly constant Twitter Trending Topic, Justin Bieber. Unfortunately, for the element of surprise at least, Microsoft never cared to reset the timing on the Xbox Dashboard announcement. Bleszinski is scheduled to appear on Fallon on Monday. Maybe we’ll even get a trailer?

Fenix left an abrupt battle at the end of Gears of War 2 leaving many fans of the series disappointed. Then arose the debate that since Microsoft had signed a two game exclusive deal with Epic Games for the Gears franchise the next would indeed be a multiplatform game which would satiate hungry PlayStation 3 owners.
This was followed by nuggets of information about the sequel to be developed on Unreal 4.0 engine, which were later debunked by Mike Capps. With Halo: Reach being announced for this year most loyalists of the platform already have a reason to rejoice on the Xbox 360. However we might just have another bit of information that will make them exalt in joy. Recently, we discovered a LinkedIn profile belonging to an individual called “Drew Moxon” who has worked on the Gears of War franchise for Microsoft Game Studios in 2009. The icing on cake comes when he recently joined MGS in February 2010 as an associate producer for a game none other than “Gears of War”. There is enough meat that connects this with the sequel to one of the largest grossing franchises for the Xbox 360.
Gears of War 3 is expected to continue Fenix’s adventures through the land of Locust which has now been plagued by civil war dividing them up into factions. There was another piece of information that we had heard some time ago about the developers working hard to craft out a better experience for chainsaw duels. We hope that Epic irons out all the issues that plagued the multiplayer component of Gears 2 and constructs a model that is as exciting and laced with action as the original. With all three entrants pushing their best foot forward this year, 2011 seems to be quite a probable year for the entry of the sequel.
