EXCITEMENT! (https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?4474-The-Future-of-Unreal-Tournament)
Here’s the plan:
• We’ve created a small team of UT veterans that are beginning work on the project starting today.
• From the very first line of code, the very first art created and design decision made, development will happen in the open, as a collaboration between Epic, UT fans and UE4 developers. We’ll be using forums for discussion, and Twitch streams for regular updates.
• If you are a fan and you want to participate, create a free account and join the forum discussion.
• All code and content will be available live to UE4 developers on GitHub.
• The game will be true to its roots as a competitive FPS.
• Development will be focused on Windows, Mac and Linux.
So what’s the catch?
• It will take many months until the game is playable by gamers. This is real development from scratch.
• When the game is playable, it will be free. Not free to play, just free.
• We’ll eventually create a marketplace where developers, modders, artists and gamers can give away, buy and sell mods and content. Earnings from the marketplace will be split between the mod/content developer, and Epic. That’s how we plan to pay for the game.
No screenshots because...well, its day 1 of development.

That's a really cool idea

Huh, that's pretty neat. Will definitely keep an eye on that.

The first line of code better play this:

Awesome!
Looking forward to seeing what Epic and the UT Community comes up w/ for this!
