Microsoft has said it will take ‘vigorous action‘ against anyone that illegally downloads Gears of War: Judgment now that it has been leaked online, exactly a month before the March 19 release date.
The leaked version of the code is supposedly complete, allowing users to download it from torrent sites and play it on illegally modified 360s.
Microsoft issued the statement:
“We are aware of isolated cases in which Gears of War: Judgment content has been propped on the web and are working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation immediately.
Consumers should be aware that piracy is illegal and we take vigorous action against illegal activity related to our products and services. Playing pirated copies of games, such as Gears of War: Judgment, is a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use and will result in enforcement action, such as account and console bans.”
In other news Microsoft has released a new video showing off four minutes of multiplayer action.
Gears of War: Judgment is out exclusively for the Xbox 360 on March 19.
