Joystiq has reported that Epic Games' Gears of War 3 has been delayed from April 2011 to the holiday season of 2011. We are not amused; I can hear the thousands of gamers who pre-ordered Gears 3 are now twitching in agony.
The reason behind the delay is that Microsoft and the developers at Epic Games "elected to move the launch of Gears of War 3 until 2011 to make it the marquee title for the holiday season."
Well, not surprising, but it's quite possible that Epic wanted to to give their upcoming first-person shooter, Bulletstorm, a little breathing room for the first-quarter of 2011.
