Update: The new installment in Epic's million-dollar franchise is Gears of War: Judgment. The July cover of Game Informer shows series mainstay Damon Baird shackled as the Locust hordes rage around him. Augustus "Cole Train" Cole, soldier and world-famous Thrashball player, dons our second cover image in the same precarious situation.

Characters bio:
Damon Baird:
Before this sarcastic, genius mechanic went on to help Marcus Fenix save the world, Baird worked his way through the Gears ranks. He’s always quick to joke, but Judgment suggests there’s more to his character than being a comedian.
Augustus Cole:
A former Thrash Ball player turned soldier the "Cole Train" became famous in Sera for his on-feild performance and boisterous demeanour. Cole met Baird soon after enlisting, and the two quickly became best friends.
Garron Paduk:
A miltia refuge from the Union of Independent Republics. Garron comes from the other side of The Pendulum Wars. He brings a new perspective and brush personality to Kilo. Garron is the devil on Baird's shoulder that say's "Let's blow stuff up."
Sophia Hendricks:
A cadet from the onyx guard academy, she is more in line with colonel loomis by the book approach to combat. E-day halted her path to graduation from the academy, but she is still worth the soldier. She is the opposite of Garron, ready to suggest informing superior officers of every deviation from protocol.

The setting of GOWJ is Halvo Bay, home to the Onyx Guard Academy. Apparently its like now a day San Diego or San Francisco of World War 2. The city has a strong military background feel apparently.
Original:
i've checked some scans online
- Gears of War: Judgment
- People can fly production
- Baird is in chain (not marcus)
- Spin off
- KiloSquad Based
- Smart Spawn System
Edit:
i've seen just a couple of pages leaked (and promptly removed by Microsoft ) so i can't be sure but screens suggested third person
as story setting..
definitely after pendulum wars
Some more info:
- Prequel focuses on Baird in his earlier years, who apparently has been accused of military crimes.
- New to the franchise is class-based gameplay in multiplayer (new gametype).
Sean said:Tiny bit more (Google translation from Italian):
On the network are leaked the first scan of Game Informer article on new GOW which will take the name of Gears of War: Judgment and will lead the team Kilo composed by Damon Baird, Augustus Cole, Garron Paduk and a red-haired girl named Sophia Hendricks. It will be therefore to all intents of a spin-off, but from the few scan leaked and their poor quality you cannot include other specific details if not words that might give rise to speculation.
It speaks of "more freedom" in the narrative of events in the countryside, the possibility to play the song in co-op, a better management of the IA and a "Smart Spawn System" (also called "S3") that would increase the longevity of the game allowing you to create different situations whenever you will have to replay an act or a specific chapter.
Hmmmm.
Apparently there is a new mode called "Overrun" which is Horde and Beast combined.
Lemme guess. One team are COG with fortifications and other team are Locust beasts? If so, holy shit!!!
Epic forum user says it takes place 15 years before Gears 1.
The missions are set a short time after E day, when the Locust first emerged from underground.
