Gears of War 3 will launch on Xbox 360 this September according to Microsoft, who has confirmed a September 20 global release date for Epic Games’ hotly-anticipated shooter.
The game will feature four-player campaign co-op, as well as a new multiplayer game type, ‘Beast Mode,’ in which players assume the role of the locust horde.
Microsoft also confirmed four new maps this morning, including: “Trenches, which features an impressive sand storm that reduces your visibility, as well as Overpass, Mercy, Checkout, and Thrashball”.
The Redmond-based company also announced a handful of tasty new weapons, including: “The Bayonet Charge, The Retro Lancer, The Sawed-off Shotgun, The OneShot – a heavy sniper rifle that shoots through shields or cover for a surprise one shot kill, The Incendiary Grenade, The Digger Launcher and a few subtle tweaks to old favourites Hammerburst and The Classic Lancer”.
And yes, each weapon arrives with its very own execution move.
Keep and eye on Console Monster for more Gears of War 3 news as soon as we get it.
