No one has been able to get in touch with anyone on the team for about a month. RZE in particular hasn't spoken in discord since June 29th. The last real update to UT was done on July 10th, while the buildlist versions still appear to be increasing. A lot of us are pretty curious what's going on or what's about to happen. Should we expect a major release or announcement?

What's with the radio silence?

Personal message to epic staff
I dont want to play Quake champions which is so
poor weapon wise as all quakes before.
I have played enough overwatch to be aware of the limits of this game. You can't hardly carry your team and super power is a cheap mechanism.
Conclusion : you have no competitors. So go beta, promote blitz and let me play ctf leagues
More seriously, I'm one of those who think that movement (except this sluggish acceleration) and weapons are almost perfect. Do great visuals effect, great immersive sounds and great user interface and go for big success. I would buy your game 100€.

Funny PB should ask. I came over here tonight to see if I could find a UT4 status update. I had high hopes when this was first announced in May 2014 and through the first year of development, but my optimism has been steadily decreasing. I'd like to hear that they still aspire to produce a first rate UT4.UT4 CTF Maps: CTF-Whiplash | CTF-Sidewinder | CTF-Highpoint | CTF-Hardcore | CTF-Tubes-Of-Spam

Fortnite, Paragon and Unreal Engine are Epics top priority
Unreal Tournament 4 is more like a sideline project they (a small team) work on in their spare time
+ its middle of summer so people should be on holidays as well
either way, this will be a slow development that will stretch on for years with a high probability of getting canceled if Epic games management decides its a waste of resources - hardcore arena shooters are all but dead in this day and age so it makes financial sense to focus on other products
also Epic games might be looking at how successful Lawbreakers and Quake Champions (a much higher budgeted arena shooters with massive marketing behind them) will be before deciding on fate of UT4 - if those games fail, there is no point in making UT

There is no evidence to support anything you just said.
developers and community manager having minimal to no correspondence with community for some time now is a dead give away that Epic is focusing its efforts on other projects
UT4 is an afterthought at this point.

fortnite and paragon are projects with higher priority and devs/designers already mentioned several times in the past that they are working on other projects - as you can read from the links above, these 2 games are constantly updated unlike UT
you think there is a dedicated UT team within epic games? think again, Epic Games is using its resources for other games atm thats why UT updates are sporadic and why UT is still in pre-alpha even after 3 years|| MSI H77MA-G43 || Core i5-3470 3.2GHz || DDR3 16GB Kingston @ 1600MHz, CL9 || Gigabyte G1 GTX970 || 2xSSD + 1xHDD || 520W Seasonic SS-520GB || Acer 27" XB270H 144Hz || Mouse: Logitech G403 Wireless || Keyboard: Vortex Pok3r RGB MX Nature White || Windows 10 Pro 64bit ||
