UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2 EXISTS!

That's the word, and it's carved out of concrete. The sequel to arguably the best multiplayer online shooter is coming out in 2002

15:41 This is the world's first mention of the game, but our sources say the project is already in an advanced stage, with maybe six months of development still to go. All sounds like a late 2002 release to us. Coding is being done by Digital Extremes, who worked closely with Epic on the original Unreal and is currently developing Xbox blaster Unreal Championship.
According to sources, the game looks "considerably" more detailed than the original Unreal Tournament and uses the latest build of what is now known, simply, as the Unreal Engine. Key advances are likely to include vast outdoor environments, extensive particle effects such as sand and smoke, expanded control techniques and a revamp of weapons.

More as and when we know it, including, hopefully, the first pictures. There's going to be some big games next year, but let's face it, few come bigger than this. Stay tuned.

Cool

But chances of Assault being in there

Seems to good to be true, but Cleaner's comment opens up an interessting possibility:

DigitalExtremes are a rather small software studio and they are working full power on UC. I seriously doubt that they have the necessary manpower capacity to develop a second new game in parallel to UC.

Or maybe they just renamed the PC port of UC to "UT2", so that they don't violate any contracts with Microsoft saying that UC will be exclusive to Xbox?

As for AS...*cough*3rd part*cough*

Infogrames already labeled it as a rumor.

 

[Swyzz]

yes.. but with the same sentence as alwayz..

The CVG.com story is a rumor. As a matter of policy we don't comment on rumors.

It gives absolutely no info..
