About Gears of War: Judgment

Gears of War: Judgment is a prequel to the original Gears of War, developed by People Can Fly. Set in the immediate aftermath of Emergence Day, it follows Lieutenant Damon Baird, Augustus Cole and the rest of Kilo Squad as they stand trial for defying orders, with the story told through their testimonies.

The campaign introduces Declassified missions, optional twists on each section that raise the challenge in exchange for more stars. Alongside it sits a full suite of multiplayer, including the class-based Overrun mode, where humans defend against Locust attackers, and Survival, plus split-screen co-op.
