Can I use Unreal Tournament
or Unreal Tournament 2003 in a
retail PC network-gaming setting?
If you want to use
Unreal Tournament in retail PC network-game establishments
all we ask is that you follow a few simple rules: 1. This
applies only for retail establishments dedicated to PC
network gaming. 2. You may not use our games in arcade or
amusement park settings or in conjunction with
arcade-style cabinets or pods. 3. You may use the
demo version of only up until the time that the full
retail version is available in stores from which point
onward.... 4. You must have one legally-purchased full
retail copy of the game on-hand at all
times for each machine that the game is being played on.
5. You can not resell the game or a computer with the game
installed on it and 6. We reserve the right to amend or
change these rules from time to time. It is your
responsibility to stay in compliance with these rules. The best way
to obtain the copies you need is to purchase them from a
software retailer or major online games sales site. Sorry
but we will
not provide written permissions or license agreements for these kinds of
activities.
Does
Epic have any job openings?
We a have a
very low rate of turnover at Epic Games and we seldom hire
new employees. When we do have positions opened they will be
advertised on this website along with information on
exactly how to submit your resume and samples. Please do
not send us unsolicited resumes or samples.
Can I be
a beta tester for your next game?
Our publisher handles testing and quality assurance and
they do not accept outside testers.
Can you
tell me when Unreal Championship or UT2003 will be
released?
Unreal Championship for Xbox and Unreal Tournament 2003,
for Windows and Linux, are in stores now! A Macintosh OS X version of
UT2003 is in development but we don't know when it will be
done.
Does
Unreal Tournament 2003 work on Linux?
Yes. There is Linux install script on disc 3 of the retail
version of UT2003. It wasn't mentioned on the box because
we were not sure whether or not it would be ready in time
for the retail release.
Can you
tell me when Unreal II will be released?
Unreal II is in stores now!
Will
Unreal Championship be released on PC and/or Macintosh?
Unreal Championship is a console game designed
specifically for the Microsoft Xbox platform. Digital
Extremes, who co-developed Unreal and Unreal Tournament
are developing it and it's going to be spectacular. At
present it is only planned for release on Xbox. Unreal
Tournament 2003 which shares some, but not all, of UC's
content will be released for PC and Macintosh this fall.
I have a
great game idea or a great idea one of Epic's games, can
we discuss it?

outside submissions of any kind. Please do not send us
your ideas, stories, artwork, game levels, music, etc.
They will not be reviewed.
We are
music/rendering/art/mo-cap/testing professionals. Can we
talk with someone at Epic to discuss our products or
services?
We do all of our own
game content in-house or with contractors that we've been
working with for a long time. We're not presently looking to establish
relationships with any new firms at this point in
time.
I love
your game and I'd like to make a movie / book / song /
soundtrack / poster / merchandise / TV show / comic based
on it. Can we talk about it?
We
would consider inquiries from major established studios,
publishers, merchandisers or production companies who are willing to pay up-front licensing fees or
attach major stars / musicians / authors / artists to the
project but unfortunately we can't accommodate requests
from individuals.
Can I be
the distributor / dealer / publisher for Epic games in my
country?
Infogrames currently
publishes and distributes all of our existing
in-development projects on all platforms on a world-wide
basis. If you're interested in distribution please contact
them.
