Unreal Engine 5.7 Demo for Unreal Tournament Released

Unreal Tournament fans, here is something for you today. YouTube’s Smart Poly has ported Unreal Tournament to Unreal Engine 5.7 and has released a playable demo that you can download right now.

Before Fortnite Battle Royale launched, Epic Games was working on a free-to-play Unreal Tournament game. This was meant to be a community-driven project. Sadly, though, its team was moved to help develop Fortnite Battle Royale instead. As such, this UT game was put on ice indefinitely.

This playable demo takes advantage of the improvements that Epic Games made to Unreal Engine 5.7. As such, the demo will now run better than its initial version.

Now, while there is also support for Software Lumen, Smart Poly did not make any improvements to it. As Smart Poly noted, this Lumen solution runs really well on most PCs. The downside is the visual artifacts you can easily see in the video. The artist could improve the quality of Lumen, but that would come at a great performance cost. As such, he decided to leave it as it was.

It’s a shame we’ll never get a new Unreal Tournament game. But hey, at least we now have a playable demo of it in Unreal Engine 5.7. Sadly, the demo does not seem to have any gameplay features. I don’t see any bots you can fight, and there is no support for online play. All you can do is explore the Outpost level. And that’s it.

You can go ahead and download the demo from this link.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, I recommend trying out these other free fan-made demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. For Mario fans, we have this cool Super Mario Galaxy Tech Demo in Unreal Engine 5.

And that’s not all. There is a cool remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5 that you can download. Or how about this free Attack on Titan game? Then we have the fan remakes for Dino Crisis 2 and MediEvil 2. Plus, there is an amazing fan remake of Sonic Adventure 2, called Sonic Adventure 2 Redux. Zelda fans can get this fan remake of Ocarina of Time. Oh, and let’s not forget the amazing ports of Skyrim and Oblivion.

Owners of high-end GPUs can also try these three tech demos. The first one features a Witcher-like environment. The second shows off a Rome Italian Town.  The third is the Venice Tech Demo we shared a few days ago. We also have a demo of King’s Field 2 in UE5, as well as a remake of Konami’s canceled PT. Finally, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, a remake of Flappy Bird, a demo for Need for Speed: Underground 2, and a Diablo 2 Remake Demo. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.

Have fun!
