We do have a release date for UT3 360, says Rein

Epic boss Mark Rein has told videogaming247 that the company does know a release date for Unreal Tournament 3 on Xbox 360, but you're going to have to wait a little longer to get it.

"We do, but I don't think we put it out yet," said Rein when asked if the SKU had a release date. "It's kind of a when it's done thing. We have an idea of when it's coming. We have a big Midway Gamer's Day next week, in fact, in Las Vegas, where Midway's invited a whole bunch of people to come and play the game. I'm sure after that happens you'll see lots of impressions of the game."

Rein also reiterated that the code is up, running and looking great.

"It's in really good shape," he said. "I was playing it yesterday here in my office."

Sounds like "sooner rather than later" is about right. Keep your eyes open for first impressions next week.
