Midway has today revealed that the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3 will be released on the 4th July in Europe with the US version following on the 7th July.

Although the game has been out on PC and PS3 for some time Epic Games is ensuring there is some incentive for 360 owners to buy it by providing new content, such as all the downloadable content so far, five new maps, split-screen support and two new characters. 

In addition, the game will feature an exclusive video preview of Gears of War 2, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 4.7-million-unit selling blockbuster third-person action game. The exclusive video content will include never-before-seen footage of the game’s multiplayer modes featuring new maps, new modes, new weapons and new gameplay elements. The video is narrated by design director, Cliff Bleszinski, and producer, Rod Fergusson.

 “Unreal Tournament 3 for the Xbox 360 delivers fans the award-winning gameplay of UT3, complete with exciting exclusive content that will make it a must-have title for the Xbox 360” said Mona Hamilton, vice president of marketing, Midway.

”We’re very excited to be shipping Unreal Tournament 3 for Xbox 360,” said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, Inc. “This is a great title and, with two-player split screen support and some very cool new content, Xbox 360 players should be thrilled with this fantastic version of the game.” 

We gave the PS3 version a rather impressive 9/10 in our review, so things are certainly looking promising for the 360 version.
