Gears of War: Judgement Officially Dated

No more of this “sometime in March” hogwash, folks. Developer People Can Fly, under the guiding eye of Epic Games, are bringing the Locust slaughtering prequel to our Xbox 360’s on March 19th, 2013.

Just as 343 Industries is injecting fresh blood into Halo, PCF is tossing new ideas into Judgement like grenades, hoping to transform the terrain. A character class system, a varying narrative dependent on your difficulty, a quicker pace to the action, and the mash-up of Beast Mode and Horde Mode into one out of control offering called OverRun all go towards setting Judgement apart from the main series and giving it an identity unto itself.

First quarter next year is filled to the brim with AAA releases, but I think it’s safe to say Gears of War: Judgement will stand tall in 2013.
