Over the weekend, Epic Games held an in-house tournament, and highlights from the capture the flag exhibition can be seen here, as well as a complete archive of the Unreal Tournament matches from the weekend event here.
Along with that an exciting new trailer was released showing new maps, new content, and new features to show how the game has evolved since it’s reveal at GDC 2015, and believe me, a lot has changed.
Notes from update:
- Three new maps: CTF Facing Worlds, CTF Titan Pass, and CTF Pistola Battlegrounds (from community member Jayoplus, who also competed on Team Liandri)
- Players now have three ways to earn new items: online progression, offline challenges, and training accomplishments.
- The special version of items earned in the Pre-Alpha Season will not be available to unlock after this season ends. Some of these items will be permanently unlocked, giving players a symbol of their participation in the Pre-Alpha experience.
- The Infiltrator Mask is a special, limited edition item granted to anyone who completes an online match in an official Epic hub in the next week.
- Three updated weapons: Link Gun, Rocket Launcher, and Sniper Rifle.
- Two new characters: Visse (Necris Female), and Garog (Skaarj Trooper), and many other new items and unlockable alternate character skins. Explore the full list of possibilities here and here.
The Pre-Alpha season will go all the way until the end of October and anybody can download and play the game for free.
