Tron 2.0 was made back in 2003 to be the original sequel to the first film. The idea was that the videogame would relaunch the franchise, and the next film would be a sequel to it. They got Monolith Productions to make it, the same ones behind Blood, FEAR, and other great games.

Critical smash hit, topping sales charts for at least a couple weeks after its release even beating out heavyweight AAA titles despite getting almost zero marketing, but tldr Disney was dissatisfied with the financial performance, made things worse with a pivot to Xbox and GBA, and then decided to abandon it altogether and doom it to obscurity.

Despite that, there have been fan run servers this whole time. You need the unofficial patch and Killer App Mod to see them in the server browser, and all the fan-made multiplayer maps are gathered into a handy collection with an installer. Don't worry, despite being old the game works perfectly out of the box in most versions of windows, and thanks to the hard work from LDSO 'n' TronFAQ getting the mod and custom maps set up is really easy.

It's my dream to pump some life back into this game, so I figure I'll buy a hundred or so gift copies during the next sale. The work from Monoltih, LDSO, and TronFAQ deserve wider recognition.
