IIRC the old XRay engine is open source (or the source leaked and the devs gave the okay for modders to improve it), so here’s hoping someone can reverse engineer and backport any major improvements this edition adds to the originals.
It was indeed leaked and given their blessing. That’s what spawned the OpenXray engine which is coincidentally what Anomaly uses. So the release of these remasters will have zero impact on Anomaly, thankfully.
However, there were many excellent regular mods for the original trilogy (Gunslinger comes to mind) that will probably break…
On the other hand, after they got back together and started making a game again, they did retract the open season ruling on parts of the IP of the game. (they went after Stalcraft and made them change the names of a bunch of the groups since they were 1:1 copying Duty, Freedom, Monolith etc)
however I doubt they will ever do anything with Xray, in terms of enforcing IP . its so old and they’re an Unreal studio now, for better or worse.
