It would not be the first time for U.K. retailer ShopTo to spill the beans on a major upcoming release. Previously this year, ShopTo leaked LEGO Lord of the Rings, much to my enthusiastic delight. Well, now it’s Gears of War Judgment, the upcoming prequel, in the spotlight.

Currently, on their website, ShopTo is displaying a launch date of February 8, 2013 for Gears of War Judgment. According to our friends at VG247, we’d be looking at February 5 for the U.S. This is consistent with the E3 reveal that the game would launch in Q1 or “early” 2013 (as is also currently displayed on the game’s official webpages). For now, the validity of this date is unconfirmed, but, considering the history, I would not be surprised if it is completely spot on. Expect updates as soon as more information and/or confirmation becomes available!

That would be awesome.

Further solidifies that 2013 is next Xbox year.

Early 2013 release of Gears means MS can say they supported 360 with a last hurrah before the gen ends.

Gears of War: Judgment will release in February 2013, according to one of CVG's "publishing sources", with exact North American and European release dates still to be finalised.

Rather early in the year to launch a game of this stature, isn't it? Downright suspicious, in fact. Gears of War 1 and Gears of War 2 both saw release in November, timed to capitalise on the Christmas rush. Gears of War 3 dropped in late September, avoiding Call of Duty without entirely losing its grip on the festive season. All three games justified their holiday positioning with mammoth sales.

You'd almost think there were something elsein the works for mid or late 2013, something scarier even than Call of Duty, something so very awesome, that the very thought of it might scupper Judgment's odds of turning a profit. Something.... next generationy.

Recently leaked "Xbox 720" design docs (confirmed to be copyrighted Microsoft materials, but possibly out-dated) pin the console for release in holiday 2013, which suggests that it will debut at E3 next year. Time enough for Judgment to sell a few million before the hammer comes down on current gen, then.

Epic has confirmed that the Gears prequel will be the last Gears game for Xbox 360, though probably not the last Gears game period.

Forgot we were in 2012. Yea I am expecting 2013 reveal and most likely release.

It definitely looks like a 2013 NextBox release. This make me wonder if Sony will be ready to launch the PS4 by then.

Based on the recent reveal of the Bungie/Activision contract, I honestly think Sony will be releasing the PS4 in 2014, but when in 2014 is up in the air.

It's been stated several times this is a Xbox 360 game. Gears:Judgement is releasing early 2013 and the nextbox will more than likely release in Fall 2013.

Gears of War was never a good game in my opinion.
