Gears of War 3 Details Released (By Accident) April 9, 2010

After the major cliffhanger that ended Gears of War 2, many considered a third game to be all but certain, espessially given the millions of copies sold of both games of the platform.  Then take into account how many years have passed since the last release, and many were considering that Gears of War 3 might just come out by the end of this year.

Well it’s not.  It is however coming early next year.  This morning, Xbox Live posted up that Gears of War 3 will be released in April 2011, one year from now.  The post has since been removed, as it was likely posted by accident.  CliffyB was supposed to go on national telivision on Monday to premere “something” but then delayed his appearance to further polish what they were planning to show.

However, please be aware this is not official.  Microsoft’s Xbox Live news channels have never been frauded in this way so it’s unlikely this was some kind of hack.  It was likely something intended to be time delayed to coinside with the show reveal, and when the reveal didn’t happen, someone probably didn’t reset the reveal’s timer.
