Unreal Tournament 3 Getting Expansion Content

21
Epic's Unreal Tournament 3 is set to get more content to help keep the latest incarnation in its deathmatch shooter franchise alive.

"We're working together on a major expansion that we expect will excite and grow our UT3 customer base," said Epic VP Mark Rein to GameSpot. What format the content will take is unknown, but Epic has given players free DLC map packs on the PC and a mod toolkit on the PS3.

The comment came in response to questions about publisher Midway, which announced last week that it was cancelling several games. "Midway is still very much the publisher of Unreal Tournament 3," Rein confirmed.

The PC and PS3 versions launched in late 2007 to disappointing sales before the Xbox 360 edition debuted back in July. Rein reiterated that UT3 has gone on to sell 1 million copies across all three platforms.

    Good news. Not a bad game at all to be honest, it just lacked support from the company that was too busy with Gears of Ego's.

      i feel really bad for the developers (especially the artists) who worked on this game. i think the early environments and rendering engine looked fantastic and then totally ruined for launch with disgusting over the top bloom-like effects.

        You can change that in-game. There's 4 different visual settings. I usually go with "vivid" (i think that's what it was), it gets rid of the bloom/ light-softening effect.
