Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 technology and tools to be used in games developed by and published by Microsoft Game Studios.
Epic Games, developers of cutting-edge computer and video games and the Unreal Engine, announced that its Unreal Engine 3 technology and tools will be used in games developed by and published by Microsoft Game Studios. Earlier this year, Epic became an official licensed tool and middleware provider for the next generation Xbox platform, a fact which, initially suggested that the next-generation XBox console may also feature the PhysX chip (hardware physics) which Epic already announced support for. This suggestion was later confirmed by Ageia, creators of hardware accelerated physics.
Shane Kim, General Manager, Microsoft Game Studios said, Our teams are creating incredible games and content for the next generation Xbox platform, and by integrating Unreal Engine 3 into our development infrastructure we are able to really maximize our teams' performance and deliver the quality content and creativity that the market has come to expect from us.
