Gameplay
Unreal II: eXpanded MultiPlayer was developed by Legend Entertainment for Atari to deliver on the original promise to extend the original single-player game Unreal II with a multiplayer functionality. The first playable version was released and made available for download on December 9, 2003. Almost nearing completion, the development of the game was suddenly halted by the unexpected close-down of Legend Entertainment in January 2004. Unreal Tournament: Expanded Multiplayer (UT XMP) is a port of the same name to Unreal Tournament 2004. In line with other online-enabled games on the Xbox, multiplayer on Xbox Live was available to players until April 15, 2010. Unreal II: The Awakening is now playable online again on the replacement Xbox Live servers called Insignia.
