For the first time in Gears of War history, a free-for-all multiplayer mode will be included when Gears of War: Judgment launches on March 19, 2013, OXM reports. The first exclusive screen shot above gives us our first taste of Seran-on-Seran combat.

It's part of an overhaul that newly-owned subsidiary studio People Can Fly is bringing to the franchise with Gears of War: Judgment - the first new additions shown during E3 were OverRun mode and a revamped control scheme. Gears of War: Judgment, the fourth installment in Epic's saw-em-up series under publisher Microsoft Studios, stands as a prequel and tells the story of Baird and Cole, both on trial for treason, during the war with the Locust.
