Midway and Epic Games jointly announced that the Xbox 360 edition of Unreal Tournament 3 will be out in North America on July 7. It will feature five new maps, two new characters, a new split-screen mode and all of the downloadable content from the PS3 and PC versions, but will not have any sort of user-mod support that can be found in the other versions.

However, to make up for arriving late to the party, the game will offer exclusive Gears of War 2 footage that will feature commentary by Cliff Bleszinski and producer Rod Fergusson. The video will feature never-before-seen glimpses of the multiplayer mode featuring new maps, modes, weapons and new gameplay elements.
