Unreal Tournament now on hiatus

July 24th, 2009 Posted in FPS, PC

Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney announced that they will not be developing a new Unreal Tournament game for a very long time, making Unreal Tournament 3 the last memory we’ll have of the series for several years.

“Unreal Tournament is certainly a major long-term priority but we’re planning not to release a major retail game in the series for several years,” Sweeney said. “So we have that effort somewhat on hold while we work on a few other initiatives.”

Sweeney also mentioned that Epic will continue to support the creation of third party mods in the long run, saying that Epic will “open up the engine to more people to use freely and use cool stuff.”

    Yeah, I’m not at all surprised. UT3 was an Epic failure.

    See what I did there? :P

    Seriously though, that game was flat awful.
