UT3 PC Euro date confirmed News

PC PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

7 November, 2007

Unreal Tournament 3 will be released in Europe for the PC on 23rd November, Midway confirmed this afternoon ahead of an official launch event in sunny Birmingham tomorrow.

Sadly there's no word on the PS3 version as of yet, with a Midway spokesperson telling Eurogamer that Epic Games calls the shots on that one and we'll know when they decide to tell us.

Fortunately Mark Rein will be at the event at Omega Sektor in Brum tomorrow shouting at people about how wicked he thinks Unreal Tournament 3 is, so we will endeavour to track him down and beat an answer out of him.

Unreal Tournament 3 is due out on PC in the US from 19th November, although there's no PS3 date there either. When the console version does emerge, it will be exclusive to the PS3 for at least a little while, despite the existence of a 360 version, because of an exclusivity arrangement between Epic and Sony.

For more on Unreal Tournament 3, check out our Unreal Tournament 3 gamepage, and for more Epic-related goodness why not have a poke through our Gears of War PC review?

I suspected that since they've already shown a recent PS3 build to the press that they'd be showing it tomorrow too. Maybe not hands on, though.

Why is he asking for it? It's a reasonable question.

Dan - its where the old Virgin Megastore used to be, near the old gamesworkshop. Okay so that's two old buildings. It's opposite the (still there) SQuare Peg. You know, the wetherspoons where all the heroin addicts hang out.

"No PS3 date? an exclusive missing xmas? RUH ROH!"

They won't miss the 50 sales, they can sell more NEXT year when more people have PS3's... that and they will actually have learned how to make UE3 work on the PS3 without slowdown and mega jaggies...perhaps ;)

Rumour's are flying around, that the 360 version is actually done! and that the PS3 version is a port.

@Mazzl

I think Unsere Emiel meant to say you're asking for (yet another) fanboy pissing contest.

Which isn't your fault really; fanboys will start trashtalking over pretty much any- and everything round here these days.
