Ever since Epic announced that the Unreal Engine 3 was available for licensing, we’ve been waiting to see who would get their hands on it. The force behind the scenes of Gears of War, the Unreal Engine 3 is a powerful, flexible framework on which to build just about any game.
The latest developer to join the fray is SEGA. Today, they announced that they have licensed the engine for several upcoming, unannounced titles. Simon Jeffery of SEGA of America said, “SEGA is pleased to arm our developers with the sophisticated tools contained in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3. Its versatility and power will help SEGA create incredible gaming experiences.”
Of course, Epic is happy as a clam over this, too. “Epic is extremely excited to be working with SEGA. SEGA has a long history of innovation and leadership in our industry and we’re honored that they’ve chosen to use Unreal Engine 3,” said Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games.
While we don’t know what the titles released on the engine will be, there’s no doubt that they should look great.
