Gamespot.com has all the latest details on the upcoming Unreal Tournament game recently teased. Then it was just little more than wishing thinking, but today it was confirmed that there will be a new Unreal Tournament built with the Unreal Engine 4 and it will indeed support Linux. But here's the kicker, Mark Rein, VP of the Unreal Tournament studio, says it will be developed "in the open. Not free to play, completely free." Epic envisions "a collaboration between Epic Games, Unreal Tournament fans, and Unreal Engine 4 developers," according to Gamespot. They plan a "marketplace" where Epic will get a cut to pay for the game.
