Midway announced yesterday that the shooter Unreal Tournament 3 will be hitting the Xbox 360 this summer. The Xbox version will feature two new characters and five new exclusive maps along with a split screen capability. The game has been available for PC and PS3 for a while and has sold one million units worldwide.

"We're very excited to be bringing Unreal Tournament 3 to Xbox 360," said Mark Rein, vice president, Epic Games. "Whether playing against our fantastic AI 'bots' or playing online with friends over Xbox LIVE, UT3 is a great fast-paced game with spectacular environments, weaponry and vehicles. Its comprehensive multiplayer offerings are truly going to shine on Xbox LIVE."

I really liked the previous Unreal Tournament games but UT3 on PC rally failed to grab me. I guess it’s just that I like the online play you get with Quake Wars or Call of Duty 4 better. The exact date of launch is unknown at this time.
