Hey sassyismysnake,
Progress in most games, including UT, is tied to the EA account that it's linked to. If you look at our unlinking article:
When you unlink a platform account from your EA Account, you can link it to another EA Account, but your in-game progress won’t transfer over.
That means you’ll permanently lose access to:
- games and game progress
- DLC, expansions, and anything extra you have for your game
- memberships and subscriptions
- in-game purchases.
This is also mentioned in the disclaimer that pops up when you unlink your account.
There'a chance that you can recover your progress by relinking to your old EA account again, but it's not 100% guaranteed. It's one of the reasons I'd always recommend updating the email address on the EA account instead of unlinking. If you need a hand updating the email address on that old account, you can always reach out to our live support team, and they can take a look at this for you.
