Four-player Gears of War 3 co-op campaign confirmed



Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski confirms next April's sci-fi shooter series finale will double number of players in cooperative mode; female soldier confirmed as Anya.

Bleszinski also tweeted that the blond woman in first Gears of War trailer is Anya Stroud, the previously non-combat communications officer who is series hero Marcus Fenix's love interest. Presumably, she will be one of the four characters a player can control in co-op mode.
Gears of War 3 will arrive in North America and Asia on April 5, in Japan in April 7, and in Europe and all other territories April 8. Like Gears of War 2, it will be Xbox 360 exclusive, with Bleszinski having said in 2008 that there will be no more installments of the series on the PC.
