There was a remake being done but it suffered when the battle royale craze hit

I still break out UT99 with some mates via Hamachi from time to time.

Arena shooters need a renaissance

They really fucked themselves with UT 2003 and 2004. Trying to annualize an arena shooter - a genre that lives or dies on its player base, and had years-old games still going strong - was an unforced error that killed Unreal as a franchise. I did not buy this game, because I felt like I’d just bought 2003, and it was a coin toss whether all my friends would make the jump even if I wanted to.

One of my most played games and the one I’ve lost ability to enjoy. Even UT99 and Quake games don’t make me feel myself as old and slow as UT2004.

Still waiting for a good remake.
