UA Reforged

Downloads

Coming soon. Bring your own Urban Assault.

Everything here is our own work, packaged so it plugs into a copy of the game you already have. Nothing is live yet. When it is, every file gets a version, size, checksum and licence right here.

You'll need your own copy of Urban Assault

We never ship the 1998 game data, and we don't link to it. Install our engine, point it at your Urban Assault folder, play. Which copies the installer accepts (retail CD and others) is being worked out and will be listed here.

  1. 1Download the Reforged engine for your platform.
  2. 2Point it at your own Urban Assault folder.
  3. 3Optional: add the New Look pack. Pick a preset. Play.

What we will never put here

  • The 1998 game data: levels, textures, sounds, videos, scripts. It's Microsoft's, full stop.
  • Microsoft files of any kind, including installers and the demo.
  • Anything made by running Microsoft's files through an AI upscaler: the HD texture packs, the 3x UI pack, the restored videos.
  • AI concept art or AI trailer footage.

Licences, plainly

Engine: GPLv2, inherited from OpenUA. If we ship a binary, the matching source ships too.

Our packs: free, non-commercial fan content. They are faithful remakes of Microsoft-designed units, so they fall under Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules, and nobody may sell them. Including us.

The game: Urban Assault belongs to Microsoft. You bring it.

Files will be served from fast object storage with a checksum next to each one. Want a ping when the first one lands? Sign up for updates.
