I still can't find Unreal Tournament 2000 running in the browser :( and not Return to Napali either :/

My heart will go on.

Here you go.

Right, but it's not a technical issue. It is a legal one.

Fun fact: Unreal was the first real, major piece of software that got ported to run in the browser, in a collaboration between Epic and Mozilla... almost a decade ago

Unreal Engine support is coming back to the browser, and with faster performance and load times than ever before!

My team and I at Wonder Interactive are building a hosting platform and suite of devtools that enable native games and 3D apps in the browser using WebAssembly and WebGPU.

Unreal is the first of many engines we'll support, we started with it because it has historically had subpar (and since the deprecation of HTML5 support in UE4, non-existent support for the web platform!)

Check out a few of our demos below, as well as a roadmap blog post we did last year:

There is no UT2000. ut99, 2003/4
