Capcom jumps on the UE3.0 bandwagon - Feb 27, 2007 22:43

Capcom announced that it has entered into an agreement to license the Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games, Inc., for an unannounced project being developed in North America.

" The Unreal Engine is one of the most powerful and versatile tools available for next-generation game development," said Mark Beaumont, executive vice president, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe. " More than just a graphics engine, UE3 will empower the development team to create the quality experience that gamers expect from a Capcom product."

" Capcom is known for the quality and artistry of their games," said Mark Rein, vice president, Epic Games. " We' re glad that Unreal Engine 3 can be a part of their creative process."

It' s probably some sort of sequel. I mean, the only IP held by Capcom USA is Street Fighter.

Their Framework engine (powering Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5) will be what their Japanese developed games run on. UE3.0 will be used for whatever the USA lot are developing.

This isn' t a revelation for some though. Pre-development work will have started months ago. Y' know, stuff like storyboards and artwork.
