For the first time in franchise history, Epic Games and Microsoft are giving you the chance to decide the fate of a Gears of War 3 character. By purchasing avatar gear on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, fans will decide the destiny of the newest Carmine brother set to appear in the game, with all the proceeds going to the Child’s Play Charity.
Keeping with the series’ tradition, Clayton Carmine will be introduced in the trilogy’s final chapter, and like Anthony and Ben, the newest rookie brother runs the high risk of meeting an early death. However, unlike in the previous games, the Xbox community will choose whether Carmine lives or dies by purchasing special Gears 3 avatar gear on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Starting today, two new avatar t-shirts will be available for purchase – one shirt reads “Save Carmine” and the other reads “Carmine Must Die.” By purchasing the “Save” shirt, you’re casting your vote to let Carmine live while the “Must Die” shirt means...well...
I already know what I’m going to do...and you?
Will you save him?
