Unreal Tournament is set to make a comeback, according to tweets from Epic Games' Paul Meegan and Mark Rein.

We saw the tweets regarding the future of Unreal Tournament last night from Mark Rein while we were off the clock, but Blue's News picked up on those made by Meegan.

The future of URT will be revealed during Epic's next Unreal Engine 4 Twitch stream on May 8.
