The new Unreal Tournament is a shooter — and a teaching tool

Unreal Tournament is known for its chaotic speed and bloody kills. But with the newest edition of Epic Games’s flagship franchise, the studio wants the title to educate people.

Instead of putting the multiplayer PC shooter through the usual development cycle, Epic Games is working with a few thousand voluntary contributors. Many of these people are passionate UT fans who have never made a game. Together, they hope to figure out what it means to modernize Unreal Tournament.
