The Medal of Honor franchise has left an indelible mark on the genre. Currently, one of the game’s stages is being revitalized for contemporary audiences.
Unreal Engine 5 continues to demonstrate its prowess: revitalizing classic gaming treasures. This time, it’s **Medal of Honor: Allied Assault** taking the spotlight.
If the title isn’t familiar to you, there’s no need for concern. The shooter debuted in the U.S. on February 19, 2002, for PC, and at 23 years, it’s not just eligible to vote but has also transitioned away from its parent company, Electronic Arts. How quickly they mature…
