Materia Collective announced Tournament Rematch: Unreal Tournament Remixed, a collection of modern remixes of classic Unreal Tournament tracks. The tracks featured on this release are done by the original composers and brings a bit of a modern update to some of the already banging tracks you remember from your youth.
Tournament Rematch: Unreal Tournament Remixed is said to be out today across a variety of streaming services. I've yet to see it pop up on YouTube Music as of the time of this writing, but it should be there hopefully soon. There is also a vinyl ($44.99) and cassette ($19.99) format being sold through the Materia Store.
Now, the press release I'm reading says that this album should be out today, January 24th, but I've yet to see it on any of the music streaming services I have access to. You can "pre-save" the album through Materia to have them automatically add the album to your library once released though.
There is an example track available to listen to. It is for track 7, Colossus by Michiel Van Den Bos, and you can listen to it below.
This new album revives the high-energy electronica, fast-paced orchestral elements, and grinding guitars that defined the game’s legendary soundscape—now with fresh interpretations and cutting-edge production. Whether you're a seasoned tournament champion or discovering the soundtrack for the first time, this album will reignite your passion for the arena. Featuring the mastering talents of Jett Galindo along with stunning artwork from Łukasz Sienkiewicz, this album is a must-have for fans of Unreal Tournament and gaming music alike.

About a year ago i came across someone on Youtube who was remastering Unreal tracks just want to give him a shoutout because his work is brilliant.
The current status of the franchise is a damn shame, and of course celebrations of it like this remix album have to come from the community and not the company who seem content for now to just bury it, they should probably stop calling it Unreal Engine at this point.
