Unreal Tournament 3 mod and level editor for PC coming soon (allows PS3 mods)

Unreal Tournament 3 for PCMark Rein, developer Epic’s VP and co-founder, has said on the official Epic Games forums that the Unreal Tournament 3 mod/level editor for PC users is almost finished and might come out next week or shortly thereafter.

To quote:

We’re very close to releasing an update to the Unreal Engine 3 editor, that comes with the PC version of UT3, that will allow UT3 mod-makers to cook their mods into the required PS3 format. We’ve been doing some internal testing and we’re hoping to expand to a wider group tomorrow or Friday. If all goes well then we should see the update released next week which is what I expect will happen. Obviously the process works, as we put out a few mods before Christmas and people seem to be playing them, but it is the update to the editor that we’re testing.” — Via Kotaku
