Mark Rein, Epic's VP, stated that there will be a new expansion on the horizon for Unreal Tournament 3. The expansion, he noted, will be distributed through Midway.
Rein did toss out a few sales figures to the number crunchers in attendance. To date, UT3 has sold over 1 million units worldwide, with over 476,000 of that being sold in the United States. To compare, Gears of War has sold over 3 million unites to date in the US.
"Our arrangement with Midway isn't a license but rather a straight publishing agreement and Midway is still very much the publisher of Unreal Tournament 3," he said. "In fact, we're working together on a major expansion that we expect will excite and grow our UT3 customer base."There are no other details known just yet on the scope of this project. However, it is known that it will be the first "major" expansion to hit Unreal Tournament 3, so it may just end up being a bit more than a mere map pack.
