Unreal Tournament 2004
Unreal Tournament 2004 (often abbreviated to simply UT2004) is a first-person arena shooter video game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. Part of the Unreal franchise, it is the third game in the Unreal Tournament series and an updated re-release of Unreal Tournament 2003.
Among significant changes to gameplay mechanics and visual presentation, one of the major additions introduced by Unreal Tournament 2004 is the inclusion of vehicles and the Onslaught game type, allowing for large-scale battles.
Unreal Tournament 2004 was met with a highly positive reception, with acclaim for its gameplay variety and multiplayer; numerous critics cited it as one of the strongest first-person shooter games of the year. A sequel, Unreal Tournament 3, was released on November 19, 2007.
In December 2022, the Epic servers for all games in the series were closed. Currently, no games in the series, including UT2004, are available for purchase on any digital platforms or stores. However, in December 2025, the fan group OldUnreal received official permission from Epic Games to re-release the game as freeware, which was made publicly available in February 2026 alongside a community patch that aims to improve the game's performance on modern systems.
The game is set in a science fiction universe where humans long before fought a war with an alien species called the Skaarj, leaving their galactic empire in shambles. To assist in the rebuilding of the colonies by calming down enraged colonists, the Liandri Corporation came up with the idea of staging a gladiatorial tournament for the miners. The interest was so high that it grew into a sport, with sponsored teams battling in specially made arenas.
From the beginning, Xan Kriegor, a robot, reigned as champion in the Tournament, until Malcolm, then leading the team Thunder Crash, defeated him and proceeded to merge with the other popular team at the time – the Iron Guard, led by Brock. In last year's tournament, they were defeated by the Juggernauts, led by gene-boosted monster Gorge.
The game takes place as the Tournament enters its 10th year. Malcolm is back with his old team Thunder Crash and trying to reclaim his title as champion, Brock is back with the Iron Guard and trying for the glory of his own and Gorge and the Juggernauts are there to defend their title. Additionally, the Skaarj Empire has sent a team of their own to the Tournament in search of honor and glory, and ex-champion Xan Kriegor has had some modifications and is back to return the title where it belongs.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is a first-person shooter representing a fast-paced extreme sport of the future. The game, designed primarily for multiplayer gameplay, offers multiple ways of movement including double-jumping, dodge-jumping, wall-dodging and shield-jumping. UT2004 also features an extensive array of weapons, all of which come with a secondary fire. Some of them were designed specifically for use in vehicle-based game types, and typically appear only in those game types such as the Anti-Vehicle Rocket Launcher (AVRiL) and the Grenade Launcher. More than 100 maps are included in the game for all new and existing game types.
