Unreal Tournament 2007 – PC/PS3

2004's Multiplayer Game of the Year Returns with Improved Graphics, New Game Modes, Maps, Vehicles and More

"We feel confident that Unreal Tournament 2007 will deliver on Epic's promise to gamers to develop only the highest quality and most innovative titles using our cutting-edge Unreal Engine 3 technology," said Mark Rein, vice president and cofounder, Epic Games. "Unreal fans should rest assured that UT2007 will indeed raise the bar for not only the UT franchise but for all FPS titles, PC or console."

The game will feature many of the modes from the previous games in the series. Not returning, however, will be the Bombing Run, Double Domination, and Assault game types. The previously known Assault mode will be replaced by a new gametype called "Unreal Warfare", which will feature vehicles and accommodate a large number of players. According to sources within Epic, Onslaught Warfare will feature a style of gameplay similar to UT2004's Onslaught, while also having objective-based side missions (like Assault), where the outcomes of those side missions could sway match progress to a specific side with the addition of new weapons, vehicles and more.
