A thread titled UT put back till nov on the GT Unreal Forum has word from Epic's PR maven Mark Rein that we may be seeing a test release of Unreal Tournament (with another quickly to follow), as early as next week. Thanks Syclone. Here's the post:

Next week (and again the week after) we'll be releasing a demo/test version that will help us find and shake out some of the last few bugs in the game. Once we see what users report then we'll have a much clearer picture of when the game will be ready.
