Gears of War: Judgment arriving March 19

[UPDATE]: Epic Games revealed Gears of War: Judgment will release on March 19, 2013 at its San Diego Comic-Con panel.

Gears of War: Judgment will arrive during March 2013, Epic Games director of production Rod Fergusson told game-centric television show X-Play (via the program's Twitter account). Previously, the game was expected sometime in early 2013.

March 2013 is gearing up to be loaded with big-name games. Projects already confirmed for launch during that window include the Tomb Raider reboot, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and God of War: Ascension.

Gears of War: Judgment is the first entry in the series since last year's trilogy-capping Gears of War 3. Developed by Epic Games in conjunction with Bulletstorm studio People Can Fly, the project focuses on series soldier Damon Baird and will not use the Kinect.
