Gearbox Software sends a follow-up to the announcement of the "Liberation" launch party for Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood (story). The event will also mark the announcement of Brothers in Arms 3, though it's not clear whether this will appear on PCs as well as next-generation consoles. Here's word from Randy Pitchford:

On Thursday, September 22 at 8pm at Trees in Dallas, Texas, Gearbox Software is hosting “Liberation” – a launch party for Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood and exclusive reveal of Brothers in Arms 3!

One of the interesting things about this event is that Gearbox decided to give the opportunity to fans to stop by and mingle with the Gearbox crew and the many local Dallas game developers that will be in attendance from Ensemble Studios, id Software, Nerve Software, Ritual Entertainment, Terminal Reality, Klear Games, Paradigm Entertainment and others.

The party will feature live entertainment including a show from Moulin Rouge dancers, lots of premium door prizes (like high end video cards and other computer equipment) and free food and cocktails.

Additionally, Gearbox will be showing a demo from the about-to-be released gold master of Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood as well as the first-ever public glimpse of Brothers in Arms 3, which Sony announced recently at the Tokyo Game Show will be coming to the Playstation 3.

I think some of your readers who may be in the Dallas, TX area on Thursday may want to visit the event. The rest of your readers who cannot attend, may be interested in an exclusive announcement and exclusive look at Brothers in Arms 3.

In any case, without a doubt, “Liberation” is going to be the biggest Dallas game industry party of the year.

And – IGN.com was the first site we noticed who picked up the story from Sony at the Tokyo Game Show that Brothers in Arms 3 is coming to the Sony Playstation 3. So – I’ll give IGN a link to that story here too in case you want to reference it:

Note that the official Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood website will be launched the day of the party and that what is being shown at the party for next-gen likely won’t be shown again in any form for several months…
