PS3 Unreal Tournament III Delayed Until “Early 2008”

Whew, Sony has got to be crying in a corner somewhere. One of the biggest titles for the PS3 this holiday season, Unreal Tournament III, has been delayed until “early 2008”. This is solely to do with the Unreal Engine 3 not functioning as it should on the PS3 hardware. It affects more than just UT III as well. Stranglehold and BlackSite: Area 51 are two other titles that will feel the lag, due to utilization of the same game engine.

PC fans are not going to be affected by this delay, however. Good thing, as it would then be me who would be in a corner crying.

“While we regret that these delays will cause us to lose some valuable holiday sales in the near term as well as shift revenue for some of these titles out of 2007 and into 2008, we remain confident that our technology strategy and product plan position us to grow both revenue and market share as we move into the heart of this console cycle,” said David F. Zucker, president and CEO of Midway Games, while also confirming next-gen updates to franchises Blitz and Mortal Kombat.
