Dana Cowley, head of PR for Epic Games has taken the time to release an official statement regarding the Gears of War 3 leak, despite her being on vacation. Yesterday, reports of an early build of Gears 3 hitting the web flooded the internet. This early build contains the full campaign as well as all the game’s multiplayer modes. We were just emailed a joint statement from Microsoft and Epic via Dana Cowley:

We have seen the reports of Gears of War 3 content being propped on the Web and working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation. This content is not from a final build and is not representative of what fans will enjoy when the game launches worldwide on September 20, 2011.

We hope to see this resolved. There has still been no word on whether or not anything will be added to the retail version of the game that was not included in the leaked version.
