Unreal Tournament 2 Next Year

Dec 03, 2001 11:52am CST tags: Unreal Tournament 2003
According to Computer and Video Games, Unreal Tournament 2 is due out next year. While we haven't heard anything about the game until this point, supposedly it's in "an advanced stage, with maybe six months of development still to go". Developer is Digital Extremes, co-developers of Unreal and UT, where work also continues on the Xbox game Unreal Championship.
According to sources, the game looks "considerably" more detailed than the original Unreal Tournament and uses the latest build of what is now known, simply, as the Unreal Engine. Key advances are likely to include vast outdoor environments, extensive particle effects such as sand and smoke, expanded control techniques and a revamp of weapons.

The above almost reads like a description of Unreal Championship, so are we getting a PC port of that game?
