Unreal Engine 3 Editor Update Is “Very Close”

Home : News : Unreal Tournament 3 : News Story

Support for the creation of Playstation 3 mods is not far off says Epic Game’s Mark Rein.


Mark Rein recently posted on the official Epic Games forums in order to note that the company is “very close to releasing an update to the Unreal Engine 3 editor, [which] comes with the PC version of UT3”

What is interesting about this particular update is that it will allow “allow UT3 mod-makers to cook their mods into the required PS3 format,” essentially opening the flood-gates for Playstation 3 mods.

“We've been doing some internal testing and we're hoping to expand to a wider group tomorrow or Friday. If all goes well then we should see the update released next week which is what I expect will happen,” said Rein.
We’ll be sure to let you know just as soon as the update is made available.
