Epic Games's cash-cow these days is Gears of War but don't think they've forgotten the Unreal series that put them on the map. Just a couple weeks away from Gears of War 2's release, Epic VP Mark Rein has revealed that a huge update is coming for Unreal Tournament 3.
"We're working together [with publisher Midway Games] on a major expansion to Unreal Tournament 3, that we expect will excite and grow our UT3 customer base which, incidentally, now numbers over a million units sold-through world-wide," said Rein to Eurogamer.
No release date or further details were mentioned. Though we're all jaded about sales figures at this point - the first Gears of War sold about three million copies in its first ten weeks - a million sales is still a lot of money/players. Unreal Tournament 3 always struck me as one of those games that didn't get nearly enough attention from gamers relative to its quality. We'll see if this expansion manages to reignite interest in the game.
