Zombie Studios, the team behind Blacklight and a number of Saw titles, has announced the licensing of Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games to create a psychological thriller coming to PC in the second quarter of 2013.

“We have used Unreal Engine technology for almost a decade and after previewing Unreal Engine 4 at this year’s Game Developers Conference, we knew we would be building our next games on it,” said Jared Gerritzen, creative studio head of Zombie Studios. “Epic has provided a wholly new kind of foundation for artists and designers. We’ve been able to work in ways we have only dreamed about with UE4, which will be a fundamental benefit to our studio as we move into the next generation of games and take our studio to the next level.”

Having previously brought the likes of Blacklight to consoles, it seems possible versions of the unannounced game could end up on next generation platforms too.
