Additionally, they are being very adamant that they want to have heavy involvement from the community and that they want to include gamers to help make the game better even at the Alpha stage.

What’s interesting is that Epic has decided to bring a lot of the people that currently work at Epic, but were somehow involved with Unreal Tournament as modders and such into the project. Today is day zero and starting from today they are beginning the development of the new Unreal Tournament game. Even so, I’m not entirely sure he was wrong in either statement since Epic Games hasn’t technically started development of the new Unreal title until today. And he once again denied any such existence of an Unreal Tournament game at GDC earlier this year with some other press. We even asked our good friend Tim Sweeney, Co-Founder of Epic, about whether or not they would be making a new Unreal Tournament game in 2012, but he would not confirm nor deny any such project.

Here’s the announcement from Epic’s online live stream where they explained exactly what the new game will be like, even though the game has basically started development today. Not just that, but it’ll be very portable across Windows, OSX and Linux and the game will be completely and totally free. The new game will be based on Unreal Engine 4, which is Epic’s latest and greatest game engine and as a result, it will look and perform absolutely fantastically. In fact, since Unreal Tournament 3 came out in 2007 a lot of people have been waiting for a new Unreal Tournament game, it has been nearly 7 years since the last Unreal Title and now Epic Games has finally announced they will start to develop a new Unreal Tournament game with help from the community. As a huge fan of Unreal Tournament, I have been waiting for this day for a very long time.
