After last week's surprise release for the Unreal Tournament III patch, it seems Epic has outdone themselves once again this week.
As of today, new DLC for Unreal Tournament III is out for both the PC and Playstation 3. Did I mention that it is free?
For further details on this awesome news, check out the press release:
Epic and Midway Announce Unreal Tournament 3 PC Has Gone Gold
PlayStation 3 and PC Gamers Can Get Their Frag On With Three New Maps for Unreal Tournament 3
Today, Midway and Epic Games announce that downloadable content for the award-winning first-person shooter, Unreal Tournament 3, is now available for PlayStation 3 and PC. The downloadable content consists of three deadly arenas: Morbias, Facing Worlds and Searchlight. PC users can find the new content at www.unrealtournament3.com, while PS3 users can download it directly from the PlayStation Network.
These downloads, which are free to all owners of Unreal Tournament 3, mark the latest achievement in providing the gaming community with unrivaled mods and superior experiences through the most recent installment in the Unreal Tournament franchise. While Unreal Tournament 3 shipped with 40 maps, and hundreds of user-created mods have been published since the game’s release, Midway and Epic are committed to providing fans with even more official content to further extend enjoyment of the game.
Morbias is the deathmatch arena that started it all, perfectly suited for anything from small intense duels to chaotic free-for-all matches. The Unreal Tournament classic, Facing Worlds was one of the most played maps in gaming history. This beloved sniper map makes its return alongside an intricate new capture the flag map, Searchlight, designed for both z-axis rooftop runs and strategic indoor gameplay. Returning classics and fresh new designs let you experience Unreal gaming like never before.
Unreal Tournament 3 is rated “M” for mature by the ESRB.
A remake of Facing Worlds? Oh fuck yes!
I'm interested in the new Capture The Flag map, Searchlight. From the way they explain it, it sounds pretty spiffy. It's been a long time since I've played Morbias. I just hope it's a faithful translation, along with the epic map that is Facing Worlds.
If you cannot find the new maps on PSN right now just remember that the maps will most likely be live when the Playstation Store is updated later tonight.
Tis about time Face turned up.
I may have to reconsider swapping the game now that Face and my new ability to play on official midway servers has happened
Someone would make a user generated version anyway, and probably wouldn't do such a great job. Better to make it yourself and not have classic maps tarnished.

Mr Wilson: Then get one. Now.
Anyway, this is cool of them. Of course, this shit will probably cost 10 bucks for Xbox Live users one day in the future.
I'll DL them, but I'll be too busy playing Dark Sector to try them out for a while.
