Unreal Tournament Expansion Pack
Unreal Tournament 3 Expansion pack is currently on its way. Midway has announced last week that it had come to an agreement with two licensors to cease publishing games based on their IP. But despite of which the identity of those two, Epic is definitely not one of them. Because Epic Games vice president Mark Rein said. “In fact, we’re working together on a major expansion that we expect will excite and grow our UT3 customer base.” The plan of Unreal Tournament 3 Expansion means Midway and Epic will still going together.
Rein don’t want to say whether the expansion was a stand-alone downloadable content, retail product, or a map pack. Whatever it is, it will be the first “major” add-on to the Unreal Tournament 3 since it shipped in July for the PlayStation 3 and PC and for the Xbox 360 last winter. UT3 is currently the top PC franchise from the increasingly console-focused Gears of War developer, which is also readying an Electronic Arts-published PC, PS3, and 360 title at its People Can Fly subsidiary.
The executive also revealed that as of August 31, Unreal Tournament 3 had sold just over 476,000 units at United State retailers. According to industry-research firm the NPD Group, to date Unreal Tournament 3 has sold over 1 million units worldwide. NPD also mentioned, the figure is only a fraction of Gears of War’s total, which is nearly 3 million units in the US on the 360 and PC .
