There are few places you’ll find action so monstrous as Epic Games’ Gears of War for Xbox 360. But you’ll soon discover that Unreal Tournament 3 is one of them. Midway Games will launch Unreal Tournament 3 for Xbox 360 on 4 July, complete with more features than other editions: five exclusive maps, two all-new characters, split-screen multiplayer and an exclusive video preview of Gears of War 2!

The original Gears of War has enraptured roughly five million fans worldwide, and so we make that approximately 10 million eyeballs hungry for first sightings of this year’s mega sequel. In the video presented with Unreal Tournament 3, Design Director of GOW2 Cliff Bleszinski joins Producer Rod Fergusson to introduce newly released footage of multiplayer modes. The tour includes new maps, new weapons and won’t-believe-your-eyes gameplay elements newly minted for the next Gears.

Exclusive Gears of War 2 content is just one more reason, and a mighty one at that, to make sure you’re first in line for Unreal Tournament 3 on 7 July. But don’t forget that others include two-player split screen support for gameplay on the same console, every update so-far released for existing editions, but above all futuristic weapons and vehicles portrayed as only the Unreal Engine 3 is capable. As in mind blowing. As in, yes this is all really happening in stunning high definition.

Be ready for the newest addition to Epic Games’ pioneering FPS series, or forever lack the courage it demands. Be brave and reap the rewards! HOO AAAGH!
