Atari sends along this press release, confirming that Unreal Tournament 2004 is in development. Shipping this fall, Unreal Tournament 2004 will feature all the content of Unreal Tournament 2003 + bonus packs, as well as twenty new maps, new modes (Assault returns) and vehicle based combat. Here's a bit on one of these new game modes featuring vehicles.

* Onslaught Mode: New multi-player oriented combat game type on custom-built large-scale maps featuring awesome new weapons and land- and air-based vehicles. From the lethal bomber to the nefarious spider mines - players will work as teams to control map points and win the conflict. There are currently nine Onslaught maps planned to ship with the game.
