Trivia / Unreal Tournament 4

• Ascended Fanfic:
  • Some past games' fan-made maps such as DM-Lea and DM-Backspace (from 2004) are now official maps.
  • CTF-Pistola from 2004 is a zig-zagging example, as it started as a fan-made map for 2004's Community Bonus Pack 2, then was later made official with the "Mega Pack" for that game, and is now back as an official map.
• Defunct Online Video Games: The game has been de-listed from the Epic Games Store's launcher in 2021, though people who already had the game could still play it until January 24th, 2023. Afterwards, the game was made permanently unplayable.
• Development Hell: There have been no updates since June 2017. It was believed at first that Epic Games was preparing the game to be pulled out of pre-alpha state right into alpha. However, the sudden success of Fortnite - especially in light of the fact that Epic's other free-to-play shooter, Paragon (2016), saw its playerbase plummet and ended up shut down within six months, with all of its game assets being placed in Epic's own developer marketstore, and that the last UT update came only three months before the release of Fortnite's Battle Royale mode - now have most convinced that Epic has shifted to focus exclusively on it; it was eventually confirmed in September 2018, fifteen months since the last update, that updates are on-hold indefinitely as there are simply not enough hands to spare from Fortnite to continue updating UT. During the December 2022 delisting announcement it was also announced that the game will become unplayable after January 24th, 2023.
• Promoted Fanboy: Shares a page with the rest of Epic Games.
• Refitted for Sequel: The whole franchise has its own page.
• What Could Have Been: The whole franchise has its own page.
• Working Title:
  • CTF-TitanPass had the working name CTF-Outside.
  • DM-Outpost23 had the working name DM-Circuit. Weirdly, some versions of UT4 would keep both Circuit and Outpost23 until the latter fully replaced the former.
  • DM-Underland had the working name DM-Tuba.
  • The Blitz gamemode had the working name "Flag Run", the remains of this name are located in the FR- prefix of its maps.
