Oh what will it be?

For a brief while the epic games site changed and  the tag line: “It’s Unreal. And it’s almost here” appeared along with an image. Whether this will be an Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Engine, Make Something Unreal Compilation or something new entirely remains to be seen. With none of the usual sites reporting it It may very well be nothing. I’m getting needlessly excited anyway! More Unreal is never a bad thing.

As I find out more I’ll be sure to update.

Edit: It seems kotaku is now reporting the story.  So there may be some weight to this after all.

Edit 2: It seems the unreal.com website is now empty with a white flash box and sporting “Unreal Universe” on the title. Maybe a site to watch in the future?

Update Friday 23rd Oct: So Joystiq (article) are reporting that the Unreal Engine 3 is going to be released to consumers.  Essentially this will be something like Unreal Runtimes before it.  Allowing aspiring developers to showcase their work with  current “next-gen” power.   Exciting times are ahead!
