Fan community announces it will revive Unreal Tournament 2004 with Epic’s blessing: ‘We’re doing this for free because we’re fans of the game and we like a challenge’



So-called boomer shooters make up a whole FPS subgenre now—but what about their multiplayer counterparts, the arena shooters of old? Most of them are ruled by diehard niches of expert players or straight-up unplayable today. Unreal Tournament 2004 has spent a long time somewhere between those two categories: it boasts a legendary albeit small modding scene but has been unavailable to buy on digital storefronts for years. As of this past week, though, that’s set to change.

OldUnreal, the same fan community that Epic gave the greenlight to revive both the original Unreal and UT99, announced Wednesday on Discord that it’s getting a similar chance to take custody of UT2004. You can read a transcription of the post in thread from roX1337 on the Unreal Tournament subreddit, which states “We are going to publish an installer that downloads the original disc image for UT2004, installs the game, and applies patches to it. We are also going to start publishing patches that modernize the game, make it compatible with Windows Vista or later, Linux x86-64 and aarch64 (Raspberry Pi and similar), and Mac OS 10.9 or later, fix bugs, and implement quality-of-life changes.
