Gears of War: Judgment exact release date announced

Following reports of a March 2013 release for Epic Games' upcoming Gears of War: Judgment, the developer has confirmed an exact release date for the shooter prequel.

Announced at Sand Diego Comic-Con, during a panel titled "Gears of War: Past, Present, and Future", Epic revealed a March 19, 2013 release date for Gears of War: Judgment.

Officially announced at E3, Judgment impressed many, including our very own Tate Steinlage, who had hands on time with the new Overrun multiplayer mode. For those unfamiliar, Overrun splits players into two teams: one as the COG to defend a generator, and the other as the Locusts who try to destroy it. If successful in destroying the generator, the teams switch sides and the opposite team attempts to beat that initial time. Check out our E3 preview of Judgment's Overrun mode for more details.

In other Epic Games-related news, their upcoming survival game Fortnite was confirmed as the first game to use the new Unreal Engine 4. As such, it will be a PC-exclusive title at launch.98019
