PS3 Unreal Tournament 3 release date in doubt

Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein has conceded that the PlayStation 3 and PC debut of Unreal Tournament 3 may miss its intended release date this November.

The game has been widely marketed as a console exclusive to Sony’s PS3 for the duration of 2007, with an Xbox 360 version not arriving until some time in early 2008. However, speaking on Epic’s official forums this week, Rein hinted that game might be pushed back further than originally planned.

“We do not know exactly when the game will be completed", he said. "All we've said is that we're hoping for a November release but as you know we value getting it right over getting it right now so there's no guarantee of that”.
