Unreal Tournament 2007 renamed, confirmed for 360
Filed under: PC, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, First Person Shooters, Online

Ludicrous gibs news now, with Midway announcing that Unreal Tournament 2007 will be arriving on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 (Gasp!) in the second half of 2007. The furious first-person fragger will also see its name changed to Unreal Tournament 3, no doubt in reference to Unreal Engine 3 powering the lusciously rendered proceedings. Of course, this requires you to erase one of the previous titles from your memory, lest Unreal Tournament 3 becomes the fourth game in the series.

Epic Games promises to tweak online modes to best suit each platform and will include a substantial single-player component to match the multiplayer mayhem. In addition, owners of the PC version will be able to design their own levels and game modes, thanks to the accompanying Unreal Engine Toolset. Best get upgrading then, creative types!

Anyone else going to be buying this? Even if you are bored of the current title, it has to be good fun surely?

Unlikely, although that screenshot has certainly raised its chances

I might. I enjoyed UT2k4, maybe this will refresh my interest in the series.
I also want to see how well I can run it.

I'll be buying it. Been waiting a good 2 years for it now so it's about time they finished it up

might do, but it's suffering some massive release-slip at the moment

Ordered it in April, Amazon still reckons 30 March, which I'm doubting.

Presumably UT2003 never happened.
