News: Midway announces the latest in the multiplayer fragfest.

Midway has officially announced Unreal Tournament 2007 for the PC for a 2006 release. And the best part is it will be on display for the first time tomorrow at E3. Tomorrow is a great word.

"Unreal Tournament 2007 is the newest addition to one of, if not the greatest multiplayer PC franchises ever created," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "UT2007 will be a major evolution for the Unreal series. Fans will be blown away by the next generation gameplay, modifiability and visuals that Epic's Unreal Engine 3 technology will bring to the franchise. Without question this will be the most visually stunning and in-depth Unreal Tournament game to-date."

"We feel confident that Unreal Tournament 2007 will deliver on Epic's promise to gamers to develop only the highest quality and most innovative titles using our cutting-edge Unreal Engine 3 technology," said Mark Rein, vice president and co-founder, Epic Games. "Unreal fans should rest assured that UT2007 will indeed raise the bar for not only the UT franchise but for all FPS titles, PC or console."

Unreal Tournament 2007 will, not surprisingly, use the Unreal Engine 3 to create state of its art graphics.

We'll have more from the show.
