Our old pal Mark Rain confirmed that Unreal Tournament 3 will be upgraded to DirectX 10 and that it will be part of The Way Its Meant to be Played launch program.

Unreal is always epically late and we remember that Mark told us in October 2006 that the Unreal Tournament 2007 will probably get renamed and it did a while ago.

Epic confirmed this to Nvidia, so I guess its real.
