At long last we have a set release date for what may be Microsoft's biggest Xbox 360 exclusive of the year. Gears of War 3 will launch on September 20th in Japan, Europe, Australia and the United States. U.S gamers were originally going to get the game first back when it was intended for an April release. Microsoft also provided details about new maps and weapons alongside the release date. New map titles include Trenches, Overpass, Mercy, Checkout, and Thrashball- all of which sound totally extreme. There are also new weapons like the Bayonet Charge, Retro Lancer, Sawed-off Shotgun, OneShot, Incendiary Grenade, and the Digger Launcher that will help you turn foes into ground beef faster than ever before. More details on the public beta will be released soon.
