In response to the success of "Unreal Tournament 2004 - Special Edition," which featured the game on DVD, Atari and Epic Games will launch a special two-disc "DVD Edition" of UT 2004 on April 13. The two-DVD set will include the entire game on disc one, while disc two will include several hours of Video Training Modules (VTMs) that teach fans and amateur mod makers how to use the Unreal Editor to create custom game content.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is the third installment in the mega-selling franchise. The Special Edition DVD SKU sold out at major retailers across the United States in the first three days of availability.
Unreal Tournament 2004 was developed by Epic Games in conjunction with Digital Extremes. The game builds on the success of past installments, taking the franchise to the next level with the introduction of the hyper-charged Onslaught mode, the return of the fan-favorite Assault mode, and the introduction of land-, air- and space-based vehicles.
In Unreal Tournament 2004, players suit up as the ultimate techno-gladiator of the future, taking their fates into their own hands as they battle up to 32 other players in action-packed, frag-filled arenas. UT 2K4" contains new maps for all established game modes, including Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Bombing Run and Double Domination. In addition, Unreal Tournament 2004 contains all of the maps, mutators and game types -- such as Mutant, Last Man Standing and Invasion -- from Unreal Tournament 2003 and the free downloadable bonus packs for that game.
Unreal Tournament 2004 CD edition is currently available worldwide. The two-disc DVD Edition will be available April 13. The new DVD Edition will not include the limited edition tin box and Logitech Internet Chat Headset that were included in the Special Edition.
