Karen Traviss will not be penning the script for Gears of War: Judgment, according to Eurogamer, but will instead be penned by Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter author Tom Bissell and Rob Auten. Bissell authored the Gears of War 3 art book which came with the Collector’s Edition of the game and is currently co-authoring a book about the Tommy Wiseau film, The Room. Auten has worked with Twentieth Century Fox as a consultant and other credited work includes Avatar and two Aliens games.

Epic has yet to provide a definitive date for Gears of War: Judgement other than early 2013, but it looks as though ShopTo feels it will release on February 8. In the UK at least. The retailer has told CVG the date is an “estimate,” so don’t get too excited. Thanks, MyXboxLive. A screenshot is posted below just in case it gets pulled.
