UT Mod Damnation Getting Retail PC, Console Release

9
A beefed-up version of Blue Omega's Unreal Tournament 2004 mod Damnation will receive a separate retail release later this year, publisher Codemasters has revealed. The project prototype placed second in Epic Games' 2004 Make Something Unreal Contest.

Once again handled by Blue Omega, the game will retain its original title in the transition to retail, where it is slated to appear as a stand-alone release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Described as a "steampunk fantasy-western" at the time of its initial release, the latest evolution of the vertically-oriented shooter promises "frenetic combat, daredevil acrobatics, and high-octane vehicle-based stunts."

According to today's press release, each level can take up to three hours to complete, with the game's multiplayer component said to "take full advantage" of the large arenas.

      Sorry for any confusion, this is a stand-alone retail product now, not a UT3 mod.

          Actually looks like this was a UT2004 mod. Think "The Witcher" which started out as a NWN mod and then went all retail and modern.
