For those of us disappointed at the delay of Midway GamesUnreal Tournament 3 for the Sony PlayStation 3, here’s a bit of good news that could hopefully turn that delay-inspired frown upside down: it’s possible that the PS3 version would still be released at around the same time as its previously-announced release date (meaning, sometime this 2007).

This news update comes from Mark Rein, via an Unreal Tournament 3 forums post. He also states that with the delay, the PS3 version which was expected to have less content would now have the same amount as those of its Xbox 360 and PC siblings. His post, verbatim:

As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. Our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007. However, we will only ship it once itÂ’s ready and is the best game we can deliver.

In addition there is some good news as a little extra time in development means that now the PS3 version will have all of the same maps as the PC version whereas we previously expected to ship a fewer maps on console.

Certainly very good news for the video game community eager to sink their teeth into Epic Games‘ hyper-detailed FPS Unreal Tournament 3.
