Mark Rein, producer of Unreal Tournament III, has just confirmed on the Epic Games boards that the sci-fi FPS for PS3 has gone gold.

It was confirmed that UTIII has been approved by Sony Computer Entertainment America and has been released to North American manufacturing.

Two months ago, Unreal Tournament III for the PlayStation 3 was delayed till late 2007, with the possibility of an early 2008 release. Because of all the hard work Epic put into the game, UTIII will in fact make it into your hands on December 11, but only in North America.

Rein stated on the Epic boards that he expects the title to show up in Europe between January and February next year.

Check out his post right here.

UTIII is currently a PS3 exclusive (bar the PC). It is expected to be released on Xbox 360 some time in 2008.

    Not too much of a fan of FPS's (although COD4 is the best ever) I'm still thinking of trying this one out.

    O thank gosh, i was praying that this game would not get delayed. especially when Midway said it wouldnt be out this year. Better than gears of war, and exclusivly on the ps3, dam rights.

    AWESOME news!!!  I wonder if this is why Haze has been "delayed"...there is no way they would want to release UT3 & Haze at the same time--especially with people already playing FPS CoD4.  Well, I will be getting 2 copies of this game...1 for me, & 1 for my brother-in-law for Christmas.

    PSU did an article not too long ago about something the president of epic or whatever said. He said that after UT3 PS3 is released, they will take a break. And then, the will try to work with M$ for some kind of open content or something. In other words, It's goona be a crapload of time before UT3 360 comes out.

    Ah yes, Europe (Who have been the most faithful region for the PS3) is once again shafted.

    You were just talking crap about the ps3 5 articles ago. Your nothing but a MS fanboy posting on PS site to spit your venom and hate. Anyone can see your BS. Go post on a gaybox fanboy site.

    why is europe always shat on?

  27. Wuffer | Fodkoen

    • 5:58am GMT - November 22nd, 2007

    Well really starting to question Sonys strategi towards Europe. First of we pay a lot more for the PS3 (which I love), second our store is second rate and third games are often delayed in Europe. Im a fan of the PS3, but sometimes I question if MS has a better package for Europeans? No not at MS fanboy....

    its not sony or epic fault that games take longer to hit the Euro market remember their  are so many languages to cover plus the game has to be edited to even get released  in certain parts of Euro

    -------------------------------------------------

    Oh really? because..i usually play games in the language ENGLISH!!! which is the same as in the US, so that is BS! they could easily release an english game at the same time in europe... or atleast wait untill they can release in europe and make it a worldwide release...i'm getting more and more pissed at sony for almost every news there is from them..it's always..game to europe delayed...20 more demoes for america and only 4 for europe...F U SONY!!! jeez...

    • 10:45am GMT - November 22nd, 2007

    yeah you speak english what about the many Euros out their who cant? if the whole country spoke english and certain parts of the game didnt have to be editted due to some Euro areas being strict on violence it would be a worldwide release

    psn id: gingo... this is great news after fears of it being delayed pity about europe though but we always get shafted

  32. Soraz | Sodraz

    • 12:40pm GMT - November 22nd, 2007

    yeah i speak english, and i know that atleast 80% of my country also understands english, but what i'm really upset about, is that these game companies just can't delay the release in the US, it shows how much they only care about getting some money in their pocket. Have you got any idear about how it is to know that a game you really want is being released in USA 2 to 3 months before europe?? i hear (read) alot about how good or bad the game is from sonys favorite country, i can freaking go online and read evrything about the game before it's released here! It was the same with the release of the PS3, what was it... 3-4 months?? i could read how everyone in USA enjoyed their new and wonderful PS3 while i had to wait.. month after month, it's torture i tell you.

    I really think Soraz has a point (well we are both from Denmark). Its not just the delayed games. It just feels like Sony and the developers for the PS3, dont care about Europe (which is kind of funy since Europe is one of the most loyal regions). Try to release a game in Europe first, would be nice, since I paid more for my PS3 than customers in America/Japan. I know I sound like an old angry man ;) but I pisses me of.
