Unreal II: The Awakening is the fifth entry in the Unreal series. It was developed by the now defunct Legend Entertainment and published by Atari, and released on stores on February 4, 2003 for Microsoft Windows. It was later ported to Microsoft’s Xbox on February 10, 2004.
Synopsis[]
As Unreal II – The Awakening opens, you are John Dalton, a Marshal in the Terran Colonial Authority. The TCA is an undermanned police force that patrols the outer reaches of space. Your job is similar to that of a Marshal in the Old West — you are the lone representative of governmental law and order, charged with keeping the peace in a vast and unruly territory.”
– Unreal II manual
Overview[]
The game is described as a sequel to Unreal, though many of the story elements, including the characters and locations, are entirely unrelated to the original, and you get to progress through the missions as an entirely new character. The presence of the notorious Skaarj in modest numbers is probably the viable reminder of the Unreal universe.
The player controls a former Marine John Dalton, a Terran Colonial Authority Marshal whose job is to patrol remote areas of space, which are far away from any real action. He is called back into service to retrieve seven pieces of an ancient artifact thought to make a powerful weapon when assembled. The plot follows a linear path like many other First Person Shooters, while the character goes to various planets in search of the artifacts. The level design at each location is also linear, with only a certain amount of puzzle solving and key finding.
The environments on each planet are quite diverse, ranging from tropical to desert, bunkers and industrial installations, alien cities and even cavities inside the bodies of aliens. During several missions, the player must hold a location against waves of incoming enemies, in some cases using NPCs as support. Overall it is a short game, comprising only 12 missions.
Development history[]
- Main article: Cut content of Unreal II
The game was officially, yet quietly, announced back on October 14, 1998 by Epic Games.[1] Primary development on Unreal II was performed by Legend Entertainment, with some assistance by Epic Games, and published by Atari Games. The official site launched in 2001. Mike Verdu was initially the producer of the game, but left Legend near the end of the year in order to join Electronic Arts, and was replaced by Glen Dahlgren.[2]
Plenty of stuff got cut during the planning stage such as voice over IP and vehicles. VoIP was cut early in the planning stage because it wasn’t a priority, and with multiplayer being dumped, it never had a chance to be implemented. As for vehicles, the dev team believed that they should become part of the gameplay from the beginning, and U2 wasn’t thought with vehicles in mind.[3] Also, while there would be mod support on release, there wouldn’t be cross-support with Unreal Tournament 2003, as the differences between both versions of the Unreal Engine 2 prevented a native crossover between the two titles.[2]
The game was originally meant to be a single player-focused game with multiplayer features, and was advertised as more of an adventure game than a casual blaster. Exactly a half of the game was cut from Unreal II. The multiplayer mode got cut in March 2002 in lieu of the then-Unreal Tournament II (later Unreal Tournament 2003).[4] The content that was cut include three races that includes nine or more enemies (N, Striders, Shian), five weapons (Tractor Beam, Stun Baton, Mind Claw, Shock Rifle and Flak Cannon), seven SP maps, around 10 multiplayer maps and several more multiplayer maps, various graphics, gameplay and sound technologies such as MP3 music player, Co-op support, multiplayer support, dynamic conversation system and armor changing.
Before the release of the game, Dahlgren told BU that the game’s version of UnrealEd won’t be binary-compatible with the version of the editor which came with UT2003, so it’s not possible to use the editor to create levels for UT2003 and viceversa. It was also confirmed that Unreal II and Unreal are set in different universes, and that there won’t be a demo.[5] There were also some screenings of the game where a selected bunch of journalists and other press-related people were able to play, but after the last screening, no demo was sent to any media reviewer.[6] Contradicting the “no demo” statement, though, a demo for the game was released on May 1st, 2003, including one level from the campaign.
The initial release date for the game was January 2003, with both Dahlgren and Infogrames declaring that the game was “content complete”, with only bug fixing and performance optimization remaining.[6].
Upon release, Unreal II utilized build 2001 of the Unreal Engine 2, at that time the latest version of the Unreal Engine; according to Mark Poesch, they dropped software support in order to embrace the capabilities of the higher performance cards at the time, aiming for full DX8 support.[3] The game uses its own particle and skeletal system which is different from the one used in Unreal Tournament 2003. A lot of the arsenal in Unreal II is particle-based, allowing the dev team to create weapons and effects which weren’t possible in the Unreal Engine 1.[7] Unfortunately, according to Matthias Worch, the advantages on technology meant that it was very easy to get lost in the details, and one of the culprits was the TCA Atlantis intermission segments, which cut the action too much; according to him “it never quite felt like it was part of the same game” and due to the emphasis placed on the story, it distracted and took resources from other parts of the game that could have used the extra help (such as many missions that had to be scrapped).[8]
Console version[]
A version for Microsoft’s Xbox platform was done by Tantalus and released in February 9, 2003.
Release dates[]
- February 4, 2003 – Unreal II release
- December 9, 2003 – eXpanded MultiPlayer (XMP) addon
- December 9, 2003 – Unreal II SE (PC)
- December 9, 2003 – Unreal II SE (Xbox)
- Unreal Anthology
- Unreal Deal Pack
Post-release content[]
One of the scrapped missions, Solaris Base, was later released for free by Worch himself.[10]
A multiplayer addon called eXpanded Multiplayer was announced in July 2003. A playable standalone demo for this addon was released on December 5th, 2003 and included one map, XMP-Garden. The full version of the addon was released for Unreal II owners.[11] Upon release of this addon, the game utilized build 2226. The game appears to use a different series of build enumerations from the base Unreal Engine, as the XMP release was described as build 6496, with patches to 6497 and 7710 (the latest patch).
Digital distribution[]
The Special Edition of the game, which bundled both the base game as well as the eXpanded Multiplayer addon, was sold on the Steam and GOG platforms for quite some time. This distribution ended on December 14, 2022, after Epic Games announced the shutdown of all their online services in order to concentrate everything on Epic’s own Epic Online Services, which included the online distribution of several games as well as their master servers. Users of the platforms that already had the games can still play them either offline or with local multiplayer.[12] Unlike Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament, whose online capabilities survive via OldUnreal’s efforts, this essentially means that, outside of used copies and copies found at online auction sites, there’s no legal way to acquire the games if the players don’t already have them.

Reception[]
While Unreal II received above average review scores from most of the major game news outlets, it was not received well at all. The most common complaints were that, while it looked pretty, the game did not have much depth nor any replayability to speak of. The game did gain somewhat of a cult following sometime after the XMP addon was released, however, this community focused more on the multiplayer aspect of the game, with the single-player campaign receiving very little time or attention.
Most people dislike Unreal II in name only. The game had relatively little to do with the original game, including leaving out any characters, location, and most enemies from the first game. Some people agree that the game is fine as a game, but is not by any means a sequel to Unreal.
