Following the Xbox Live leak, Microsoft has made the Gears of War 3 announcement official. The game is scheduled to release on April 5, 2011 in North America and Asia, April 7 in Japan, and April 8 in Europe and the rest of the world. Microsoft and developer Epic Games noted that Gears 3 "plunges players into a harrowing tale of hope, survival, and brotherhood that will conclude the current story arc for Gears of War." That would seem to indicate that a Gears 4 is already being thought about.
“When we released Gears of War more than three years ago, we set out to tell the world an unforgettable story of bravery and sacrifice in the face of insurmountable odds, and a year from now, players will get the chance to experience the final chapter in the story of Marcus Fenix and his companions in Delta Squad,” said Cliff Bleszinski, design director at Epic Games, who appeared on Jimmy Fallon last night to unveil the game. “This is definitely the biggest and most dramatic chapter yet in the Gears of War saga, and we can’t wait to deliver it.”
The Gears franchise has sold more than 12 million units worldwide. You can check out the debut trailer for Gears 3 below.

I liked the trailer, especially seeing the first woman Gears(Anya from the first two games).

Yeah, it has a good vibe. I believe the same people who did the Mad World Gears commercial put this together.

Nice Trailer. I'll give three a try though I haven't finished 2 because it's just boring to me. I'm tired of the slow stuck feeling, fasting crouching blurry running and faded color environment with low-res textures. I keep thinking it's my tv but anywho I just hope 3 is more enjoyable than the parts of 2 i've played so far.

That's actually a nice touch with Dom there- I never thought I'd feel empathy for that hulking steroid freak, but there you go.
