Unreal is a series of first-person shooter video games developed by Epic Games.

The series is known for its exhibition of the namesake Unreal Engine that powers the games and is available for other developers to license.

Publishing rights for the series have changed hands several times.

GT Interactive was the original publisher and would be later succeeded by Infogrames, Atari, and Midway Games.

These records include, "First Console Game to Receive a Downloadable Patch",[4] "First Console Game to Support Player Modifications"[5] and "First Game to be Created Using the Unreal Engine".
