Epic Games has released the first trailer for Gears of War 3, which was officially announced last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The clip shows Marcus Fenix and a newly bearded Dominic Santiago battling Locust in an ashy wasteland. There's a quick shot of a female COG, which Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski confirmed via Twitter was Delta Squad's dispatcher, Anya Stroud. There are also shots of a horrifying tentacled beast and a wicked shotgun.

The clip ends with a release window of April 2011, though an April 5 release date has since been revealed.

If you aren't already following Bleszinsk's Twitter feed, you may want to start doing so. He's been updating it regularly, including a recent entry that confirms four-player co-op throughout the game's campaign.

Four player co-op in any solid game is great news. Not my favorite franchise... but hopefully it's gone the way of Halo and actually made some evolution for it's newest entry.

BTW... she's hawt!

I know that was CG in trailer but they are getting so much better at making this game look good with each installment.

Finally A female GEAR. Can NOT wait!

"There are also shots of a horrifying tentacled beast and a wicked shotgun"

You mean the Lambent Horde, as Cliff clearly explained in the interview?...good job GI :D

Anyway, 4 player co-op has caught even more of my interest, still nothing about this game that I can't wait on though...
