While it’s not exactly a concrete date, it’s better than nothing.

Epic Games have announced that Gears of War: Judgment will release in March 2013. Game director of production Rod Fergusson discussed the news with G4, which they later tweeted:

“You heard it here! Gears of War Judgment will be released in March… But @GearsViking (Fergusson) won’t let us say more yet.”

An original release date leaked out late last month, claiming the People Can Fly-developed Gear game would touch down on “8 February 2013”, although it’s now known the game will come a little later than that.

Gears of War: Judgement is a prequel and will chronicle the events of E-Day breaking out, where the Locust first attacked Sera, and while the game will revolve around the Squad disobeying orders and the impending trial, don’t expect to spend much time in the courtroom, as the new game is described as a non-stop action romp.

The game will play out through flashbacks, assuming that we get more insight into the ‘deserting’ and war-crimes as we play through moments from the past and those said events, getting a better understanding of why the group may have neglected their duty. The backdrop will then be the testimony that the Squad has to give in their defense.
