Comic-Con 2012: Cliff Bleszinski Talks Gears of War Judgment Prequel

SAN DIEGO – Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski was at Comic-Con 2012 to promote the Gears of War prequel. Before the rise of the Lambent, the sinking of Jacinto or the detonation of the Lightmass bomb, there was Emergence Day – when the Locust horde burst from the ground and set Sera on a path toward near annihilation. Gears of War: Judgment brings players back to the terrifying aftermath of E-Day, before the events of the Gears trilogy. Cliffy B talks about the new game, which launches March 19, 2013 exclusively on Xbox 360, in the exclusive video interview below.
