This version of Urban Nightmare was heavily overhauled to allow for a higher player count as well as other changes. It was played along with almost a dozen other megagames across the world, which were able to interact with each other in various ways, for the 'Wide Area Megagame', which had around 700 players in total. The design of this game, combined with the design of the original 'Urban Nightmare', both inspired the version of the game 'Urban Nightmare: Ouisconsin', created by John Mizon (SWMG).
