Unreal Tournament's Pre-Alpha Season kicked off last weekend, and Epic Games marked the occasion by hosting a live tournament at the studio and releasing the above trailer, which looks at the new content, features, and maps players can expect.
The Pre-Alpha Season will through October and be downloaded for free from Unreal Tournament's website. There's also a Capture the Flag highlights video, which you can see below.
Here's what's included in the Pre-Alpha Season:
- There are 3 new maps in the build: CTF Facing Worlds, CTF Titan Pass, and CTF Pistola Battlegrounds (from community member Jayoplus, who also competed on Team Liandri).
- Players now have three ways to earn new items: online progression, offline challenges, and training accomplishments.
- The special version of items earned in the Pre-Alpha Season will not be available to unlock after this season ends. Some of these items will be permanently unlocked, giving players a symbol of their participation in the Pre-Alpha experience.
- The Infiltrator Mask is a special, limited edition item granted to anyone who completes an online match in an official Epic hub in the next week.
- There are 3 updated weapons: Link Gun, Rocket Launcher, and Sniper Rifle.
- There are 2 new characters: Visse (Necris Female), and Garog (Skaarj Trooper), and many other new items and unlockable alternate character skins. Explore the full list of possibilities here and here.
