Here's the article.

showUSloc=(checkLocale('uk')||checkLocale('au'));document.writeln(showUSloc ? 'US, ' : ''); July 24, 2009 - Players will have to wait awhile before they get to see another Unreal Tournament game.

In an interview with G4, Founder and CEO of Epic Games Tim Sweeney said the company hasn't forgotten about the Unreal Tournament series, but for right now there are other priorities.

"Unreal Tournament is certainly a major long-term priority but we're planning not to release a major retail game in the series for several years. So we have that effort somewhat on hold while we work on a few other initiatives. "

Sweeney would continue to reinforce the importance of the community, and said by making the toolsets available for mods and map creation, the series goes beyond anything the studio could ever do.

"The really interesting thing about Unreal Tournament is that once we've defined the game in this generation the community takes it and runs with it. So you've seen the community create this ma**ive set of maps and mods that go far beyond anything we could ever do," Sweeney added.

"We almost solve the Unreal Tournament 4 and 5 problem ourselves by just making this toolset available because the community has done more than we could have ever hoped to do internally."

This should come as no surprise given the success of Gears of War. Do you miss Unreal Tournament?

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

First, the issues with TS (Crytek is apparently shelving it atm.. because of Crysis and the restructuring Crytek UK/ FRD (this includes rehiring many of the layed-off employees.. which is good..)) and now this.  Not exactly what I wanted to here either and I'm not even a full-time UT fan.  I was hoping that Epic would do something similar to what FRD did and just find another publisher, if need be. (The TS franchise obviously could and it's not even nearly as popular.. though EA kind of screwed various aspects of the game, since they kind of rushed it.)  I was sure that if all else failed, this would be what they would do.  I mean, even if GeOW might be supa**ing it in popularity, UT's still a a fairly large franchise.

This should have already been known as they said the next Unreal series won't be released but on the Next Gen consoles. Well PS4, the next gen won't be out till around 2012, that's already almost 3 years away. I expect we have a few years but its worth the wait.

UT3 is where its at and can continue to be good, the only thang this game is lacking is players. With players comes good games, comes tournaments. A little ambition can go a long way.
Currently playing MAG nightly with Wopr, we be owning on SVER n the EF CLAN. UT3 got boring, no competition, nothing else to prove, qM got dat **** on lock.
