First Look: Gears Of War 3
Epic Games has released the first trailer for Gears of War 3, which was officially announced last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The clip shows Marcus Fenix and a newly bearded Dominic Santiago battling Locust in an ashy wasteland. There's a quick shot of a female COG, which Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski confirmed via Twitter was Delta Squad's dispatcher, Anya Stroud. There are also shots of a horrifying tentacled beast and a wicked shotgun.
The clip ends with a release window of April 2011, though an April 5 release date has since been revealed.
If you aren't already following Bleszinsk's Twitter feed, you may want to start doing so. He's been updating it regularly, including a recent entry that confirms four-player co-op throughout the game's campaign.
