I’m excited! I was not expecting such a faithful update to the original introduction. They nailed the dystopian setting.

Xan is a sore spot for me, but-
1. With how many other characters were either heavily inspired or ripped wholesale from UT4, I would not be surprised if it turns out that was his planned design for the game. I don’t think his name now being X4N is a coincidence.
2. 2k4 and its timeline strip almost every unique thing from him - his voice, model, and backstory are all shared with other characters, leaving his skin as his only defining attribute. He’s pretty much just another robot, and his new design just follows that to its logical conclusion by making him look like a generic mining droid.

My hope is that the episode makes use of his backstory to make him an actual character again.

I come back from the grave to say FUCK YES!!! Dude even if they botch the lore completely lmao, this is still so fucking cool to see. Unreal's universe desparately needs some love, we never got anything like this like Halo did, Doom got movies (bad movies but still fun movies), Tomb Raider, Resident Evil movies etc...it's about time for Unreal and long overdue. So I'm stoked for this regardless of the outcome. More eyes on this franchise is good overall <3 No doubt it may introduce new people to the universe of Unreal.
