Seven months after a snippet was shown at E3, Midway and Epic's shooter
is confirmed for Sony's next-gen console.

As part of its pre-E3 PlayStation 3 conference in May, Sony brought
Epic Games cofounder Tim Sweeney on stage. Besides saying that Epic had
already received a PS3 software-development kit--which he said was
"easy to program"--Sweeney also performed a tech demo of a shooter
running on PS3 hardware.

The game on display appeared to be Unreal Tournament 2007, the
flashy-looking, Unreal Engine 3-based successor to the popular PC
shooter Unreal Tournament 2004. However, neither Sony nor Epic would
confirm when--or even if--UT 2007 would arrive on the PS3.

Seven months later, the two companies have broken their silence. The
January 2006 issue of PlayStation Magazine proudly proclaims that, yes,
UT 2007 is coming to the PlayStation 3. Inside, the magazine also
reveals that the game will be a launch title for the PlayStation 3,
which is tentatively slated for a spring 2006 launch.

UT 2007 for PS3 is the second Epic shooter announced for
next-generation consoles. However, the first, Gears of War for the Xbox
360, is slated for a general "2006" release date, meaning it could
conceivably come out after the PS3 UT 2007.
