GamersGate and Epic Games, Inc. have signed an agreement to offer
Epic's complete, multimillion-selling Unreal series of games for
download through GamersGate, a premier digital distribution service for
PC games. All titles covered under the agreement are now available to
all GamersGate users at www.gamersgate.com.
Under
the agreement, the Unreal catalog will be available through GamersGate
for full purchase. The library includes Unreal Gold, Unreal II: The
Awakening, Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition, Unreal
Tournament 2004: Editor's Choice Edition, Unreal Anthology (which
includes the previous four titles) and Unreal Tournament 3 Black.
Unreal Tournament 3 Black is the fully updated version of UT3 that
includes the massive Titan Pack title update and bonus downloadable
content.
"This arrangement will bring the timeless Unreal
collection of games to a huge new market and also expand Epic's player
base and mod community," said Jay Wilbur, vice president of Epic Games.
"GamersGate will be offering the bestselling editions of each classic
Unreal title as well as Unreal Tournament 3 Black, which includes the
massive Titan Pack released earlier this year."
"Epic Games and
the Unreal franchise are two monumental icons in the gaming world and
having the opportunity to work with both of them is a privilege," said
Theo Bergquist, CEO of GamersGate. "Our priority is to provide our
customers with the best library of PC games there is and no library is
complete without the Unreal franchise."
