Gears of War 3, probably the most anticipated game of 2011 and definitely the most anticipated on the Xbox 360, will be releasing on September 20. Protagonist Marcus Fenix will be fighting against the Lambent, a mutated version of the Locust Horde.

“They burst out of the ground in these veiny, treelike stalks that transport them throughout the world,” said design director Cliff Bleszinski. “It’s like an embryonic sac. It’s nasty stuff. You fight those guys for about a third of the experience, then for the rest of the game you deal with the latest evolution of or should I say the devolving Locust.”
