LucasArts has teamed up with Epic Games this week in a deal which grants them access to the studio’s Unreal Engine 3 for the use in any future games.
"LucasArts is now primed to capitalize on Unreal Engine 3’s ability to scale across platforms, from mobile, through PC and console all the way up to the next generation of games," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "We can’t wait to see what happens when LucasArts combines their talented workforce and amazing intellectual properties with Unreal Engine 3."
Unreal Engine 3 is the game engine behind the likes of BioShock 2, Batman Arkham: Asylum, and Bulletstorm. Keep an eye on this partnership, it could mean great things for the Star Wars franchise in particular.
