As previously announced, the full install of the XMP (Extended Multiplayer) add-on for owners of Unreal II - the Awaking is now available, expanding Legend Studios' sci-fi first-person shooter.

This release requires the Unreal II Play disc to install but otherwise it's a standalone game, featuring eight maps, three vehicles, and three character classes.

Unreal II is the sequel to the original Unreal and takes place in the same fictional universe - but the main player character and the locations are different than those found in the first game.

The all new XMP mode is a class-based multiplayer game where teams use vehicles, cooperation and Unreal II: The Awakening's devastating weaponry to battle it out across large-scale terrain maps.

Teams fight for control of energy sources to power their war machines, deployment points to get to the front lines quickly, and ultimately, four artifacts that are required to win each match.

Current owners of Unreal II: The Awakening standard edition will be
able to download the XMP multiplayer mode for free on the day the Special Edition package is released.
