Gears of War 3 development underway

Gears of War fans will be foaming at the mouth at this one. Confirmation has come in the form of a press release from MSFT and Epic that Gears of War 3 is in the works with a hard set launch date of April 5, 2011 in the states (April 7 in Japan and April 8 everywhere else).

Given the level of success that followed the release of the first two, it was pretty much inevitable we'd see a third instalment in the series before too long.
