    They may have done engine work. But the actual unreal tournament games were built by Digital Extremes. It is why they have periodically released the UT weapon skins in Warframe.

      There’s no denying that they played a part, but I just don’t see the evidence for saying that it’s their game or that Epic doesn’t deserve the credit.

        On the wiki page for Unreal Tournament they’re listed as co-creators. In various live streams they’ve talked about how they created the weapons, maps, map modes and vehicle systems for the games.

        The series would not have existed without them.

          Sounds like it wouldn’t have existed without Epic either.
