Hot off the presses, Microsoft and Epic Games have announced that the PC edition of Gears of War has gone gold and will be hitting stores across North America on November 6th and in Europe on November 9th. Here's a little snippet from the press release:
In addition to retaining all of the content from its Xbox 360 counterpart and all previously released downloadable content (seven multiplayer maps and the Annex game mode), “Gears of War” for Windows will feature exciting original content, all-new Achievements to unlock, and ultra-high resolution visuals. Five new campaign chapters expand upon the riveting story (including an epic battle with the fearsome Brumak), and the action-packed multiplayer offering is bolstered with three exclusive multiplayer maps, a “King of the Hill” game type, and Games for Windows – LIVE support to deliver online matchmaking for Gold members. A new game editor will allow users to develop an unlimited number of user-created levels with complete access to the Unreal Editor.
Man, I hope this game translates well to the old keyboard & mouse setup. It looks great! :D
