Amid a firestorm of holiday launches, gamers are already looking ahead to spring 2013 as Microsoft and Epic Games today released the official Gears of War Judgment box art and kicked off pre-orders at participating retailers.
The next marque instalment to the Xbox 360 franchise that’s sold more than 19 million units and defined a generation of action games, Gears of War Judgment takes fans back to the immediate aftermath of Emergence Day with the most intense “Gears” game yet.
Starting today, fans who pre-order Gears of War Judgment at participating retailers will receive an exclusive in-game multiplayer weapon at launch, the Classic Hammerburst, along with potential retailer-specific content1.
The Classic Hammerburst was the standard-issue assault rifle of the Locust Army during their E-Day onslaught. Highly accurate with a six-round burst, the Classic Hammerburst helped give the Locust a decisive advantage.
Now this highly feared and effective weapon is exclusively yours to wield when you pre-order Gears of War Judgment.
Check out a new video of the Classic Hammerburst in action below:
Additional incentives will be available from participating UK retailers, including exclusive multiplayer character skins Young Marcus, Young Dom, Anya and Alex Brand.

Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by Epic Games and People Can Fly, “Gears of War: Judgment” launches worldwide starting March 19, 2013. For additional details on the game, please visit: gearsofwar.xbox.com.
