Codenamed Envy it is the next installment of the popular FPS game Unreal Tournament, using Epic's Unreal 3 engine this game will be eye candy to the max.

While news is sketchy at the moment most of the leaks have come from Computer Gaming World's May 2005 issue, Beyondunreal where I have picked up this news from can not show any scans of the game for legal reasons, although they do have some screenshots taken from the game which can be viewed at the bottom of the article.

What to expect from Envy.

"Envy" is Epic's code name for the next UT.
Expect UT2004's "bounciness" to be toned down in the next UT.
The double-jump is back.
It is possible that "Envy" will not be called "Unreal Tournament 2006" or "Unreal Tournament 2007".
The game will focus on AI, specifically voice-controlled AI.
As with many UT2004 levels, the layout of maps in the next UT is being finalized before artwork is incorporated.
The game will feature a global ratings system that will allow clans to compare scores.

Features eight teams, each with unique armor.
Conquest maps are "otentially as large as three onslaught maps with assault-like objectives and even a form of limited resource management planned"
"there may be the option to treat a conquest match like a long term war, so you can play, take a break, and then go back and play more later"
"you can use your stats to find similarly abled opponents"
"re-game lobbies" will be present in some form
"clan pages and other sites will be able to be viewed from within the game"
"conquest will take advantage of the Unreal Engine 3's ability to seamlessly stream maps by putting you in a battlefield the size of several maps stitched together"
"layers will battle on one of two teams, each sides terriroty will look physically different, as you take a territory it will convert to the otherteams structures and physical surroundings"
"conquest should appeal to a wider gaming audience and provide a place where longer-term strategy, teamwork, and face-to-face fragging all meet"
