Gear of War 3 Release Delayed

This may be slightly older news but for those of you that haven’t heard it, thats right Gears of War 3 release date has been delayed for fall 2011 (US). The creators at gears head quarters released the following statement explaining their actions to the media: “Gears of War 3 promises to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2011. The teams at Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games have done great work thus far readying the title for release in the spring of 2011. However, we’ve elected to move the launch of Gears of War 3 until fall 2011 to make it the marquee title for the holiday season.”

Epic Games executive producer Rod Fergusson tells us, there’s plenty more to show before the game launches next holiday:

“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. 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. Next week we have a major multiplayer press visit at Epic HQ, and I’m really looking forward to the fans seeing and hearing about Gears 3 versus multiplayer for the first time. Lots more exciting news to come.”
