Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) is a first-person shooter and online multiplayer video game developed by Epic Games and published by Midway Games in the Unreal series. It was released for Microsoft Windows on November 19, 2007, for the PlayStation 3 on December 11, 2007, and for the Xbox 360 on July 3, 2008. Unreal Tournament 3 is the fourth game in the Unreal Tournament series and the eighth Unreal game.
Similar to its predecessors, the game is primarily an online multiplayer title offering several game modes. There are eight modes, including Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, as well as modes like Duel, Warfare, Betrayal and Greed. In vehicle maps, the player will be equipped with a hover board, which allows players to quickly traverse large maps and grapple onto other team-mates' vehicles. Unlike its predecessors, Unreal Tournament 3's single-player campaign does not follow a plot based around the Tournament Grand Championship, and it centers on a Necris attack occurs on a colony on unknown planet, releasing armed Kralls, a warlike race of aliens, on the humans.
Originally announced as Unreal Tournament 2007 in 2005, and set to be released in 2006, the game was delayed to 2007. It was renamed as Unreal Tournament 3 as the team considered it the third generation of Unreal game since it utilizes Unreal Engine 3. OS X and Linux ports were planned but they were eventually cancelled. The game received positive reviews from critics, and sold more than 1 million copies worldwide.
Similar to the prior entries of the series, the game is primarily an online multiplayer title offering several game modes, including large-scale Warfare, Capture-the-Flag, and Death match. It also includes an extensive offline multi-player game with an in-depth story, beginning with a simple tournament ladder and including team members with unique personalities.
