Capcom licenses Unreal Engine for new title

Capcom has licensed Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 for use in a new US-developed project.

The Japanese publisher joins Activision and Square Enix in adopting the graphics middleware in titles for the next-generation home consoles.

"The Unreal Engine is one of the most powerful and versatile tools available for next-generation game development," commented Mark Beaumont, executive VP for Capcom.

"More than just a graphics engine, UE3 will empower the development team to create the quality experience that gamers expect from a Capcom project," he added.
