Epic Games update the Unreal Tournament website linking to the free downloads from OldUnreal

Back in November, I reported on Epic Games giving their approval for Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament becoming completely free to download. Now, Epic Games have updated the official Unreal Tournament website to link to the OldUnreal community.

Their new website is to go along with the Unreal Tournament episode of Amazon's Secret Level series, which is a new adult animated anthology series featuring original stories set within the worlds of some of the world's most beloved video games.

Epic likely did this since Secret Level having an episode revisiting Unreal Tournament might have caused some to think Epic themselves were going to attempt to revive it, again. Clearly though, Epic are done with it, as they continue building Fortnite into a Roblox-styled Metaverse with all sorts of games.

Nice to see Epic putting up a proper website to give thanks to the OldUnreal community like this though, who have been patching up Epic's classic first-person shooters for years.

Epic Games only previously announced Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament as being freely available, but the page also links to the OldUnreal website for Unreal 2, but they only host the demo and patches not the full game. It's not clear at the moment if this will also become freely available. I've reached out to Epic Games for confirmation on that and the later Unreal Tournament games. Update 3PM UTC: Epic Games replied to mention "we have nothing more to share right now".

See more on the Unreal Tournament website.
