New Beast Mode Announced For Gears Of War 3, Play As Locust

Epic has unveiled the new beast mode for Gears of War 3, where you play as the various different types of Locust, fighting the COGs.

“Beast mode plays out a lot like Horde mode from Gears 2, only you’re given more than one life seeing as some Locust types tend to blow up in the heat of battle. You battle the COGs, earning tokens that allow you to select new classes like the Besker, the Ticker, or the Cantus.”

“These classes double up as more traditional roles too; the Cantus can heal/revive the team for example. You’ll have to work to unlock the more exciting classes, but Epic promise you won’t have to strain yourself too much to become a Beserker.”

Check out the gorgeous screenshots and gameplay trailer

Gears of War 3 releases in April 2011 only on the Xbox 360.
