Some hot news today is that Epic Games is working on a next-gen Unreal Tournament and it's not out of the realm of possibility that it will see a Linux client since Unreal Engine 4.1+ now officially supports Linux.



And then there's also this:

So, looks like Unreal Tournament 4 is a thing, do we trust them enough after the issues surrounding UT3 that were never discussed and the Linux port although functional never came to fruition?

I think we can forgive them now the entire engine behind it has Linux support can't we? We can forgive, but never forget!

We do have a lot of fast-paced shooters on Linux now with things like Xonotic, Warsow, Natural Selection 2 and plenty more, so is there space for a new Unreal Tournament? I think so as the graphics will most likely be in a class of their own compared to the other games.

We will try to keep you updated on this as it comes in, but if we miss it be sure to send it in folks!
