PS3 Unreal Tournament exclusivity in doubt

Rein won't commit to November release date

Epic Games' boss Mark Rein has stated that there is "no guarantee" Unreal Tournament 3 will make its November release on PC and PS3, casting doubts as to whether the title will remain a PlayStation 3 console exclusive this year.

At Sony's E3 conference in June, Sony made a big deal of Unreal Tournament 3 being exclusive to the PlayStation 3 in 2007, with publisher Midway confirming a November release.

But any delays would see the shooter slip dangerously close to its release on Xbox 360 in early 2008.

"We do not know exactly when the game will be completed," wrote Rein on Epic's official forums.

"All we've said is that we're hoping for a November release, but as you know we value getting it right over getting it right now, so there's no guarantee of that," he said.
