Seems that there may be a delay coming for Unreal Tournament 3 as Mark Rein made the rounds in the Unreal Tournament forums stating that while the release is set for November, things change and that it is not guaranteed.

According to a forum posting by Mark Rein himself, Unreal Tournament may not come out in November as thought. It looks like they are shooting for November, but it is not set in stone. The exact quote from the Unreal Forums over at Epic Games says the following:

"We do not know exactly when the game will be completed. All we've said is that we're hoping for a November release but as you know we value getting it right over getting it right now so there's no guarantee of that."

For all this time, I was certain that Unreal Tournament was coming out in November for PS3 and the PC. There was never any mention of a delay until today, so I have to wonder if they are running into some of the issues with the engine that other companies have mentioned, or if this is just damage control for the inevitable delay of the title that many online gamers have been waiting to play. It would be funny if it gets delayed til the 360 version comes out, but I don't see it being pushed back that far.
