Gears of War: Judgment

Gears of War Series Passes 19 Million Sales

With Gears of War: Judgment on the horizon, Epic has announced that the series has surpassed a whopping 19 million in total sales.

The biggest game of the series is Gears of War 3, which shifted an impressive three million copies in its first week on sale last year. According to Microsoft, those numbers made the game the “biggest of 2011” and helped the franchise to become the first Xbox 360 exclusives to pass $1 billion in sales.

The news comes as Gears of War: Judgment pre-order registration goes live at retailers, with a Classic Hammerburst multiplayer weapon being offered up as an incentive. You can watch a trailer of the gun in action below.

Gears of War: Judgment is out on March 19th, 2013. Here's our latest preview.

I'm still iffy on Judgment, I remember a developer once said that they thought they could squeeze in one more game before the next generation. To me, that sounds like Epic wants to whore out the franchise. But I'm sure Judgment will be decent.

this may sound weird but from that trailer the game looks a little bit too 'colourful' for a gears game in my opinion...

@3: I definitely agree. I wish this would be as similar to the first Gears of War as possible, seeing this is a prequel to it and not a sequel to GoW3.

I feel sorry for the 19 million people who have endured the lag. Had their patience testes by host advantage. Smashing their xbox up due to poor server connections.

An why we all have to go through this. Epic games got rich and made a poor gears 3. Tut tut

@5 testes? I fuckin lol'd! Best auto correct I've seen all day!

OT - this announcement seems a bit pointless to me, a bit like saying my Dad could beat your Dad up, pointless willy waving.

I agree with #5. The Gears series is nothing but a bunch of testes.

@5 You also think that 19 million different people bought copies? No-one bought all three for example? Great post, definately a contender for post of the day.

Well, people didn't know what they were getting themselves into when Traviss was unlashed to make plot "better" than ever and now most of them are hating it. Unfortunately for MS Judgement will be lucky to seel half as many copies as gears 3 did, seeing as it's sort of a pointless spin off...

@15, unlashed? You do realize there would of been allot of content cut from gears3 don't you? Things that would of made a good book, but didn't make a great game, allot of aspects end up on the cutting room floor.

On topic, ish, I'm still giving judgement a miss, it's just screaming cashin and nothing more :/

@#16 You misunderstand. I just don't like her writing period. All of the gears book she wrote take too long to gain momentum and as soon as they do, she breaks it up by some monolgues and dumb psychic musing. And it shows in gears 3, so that is what I was trying to point out... Harry Potter books had more action in them than gears books and that comes form a guys who eats books LOL

Still don't understand how 4 games in 7 years is milking a cash cow...and No I'm not an Epic fanboy. Besides leaving a long time between games doesn't necessarily mean they'll be good when they come out, ahem Resident Evil ahem!

I hope the multiplayer goes back to being as fun as GOW1.
