NCsoft has today announced it has licensed Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games to develop two unannounced, top-tier massively multiplayer online games. NCsoft has previously worked with Epic’s Unreal Engine 2 in the development of Lineage II and the soon to be released Exteel.
“Unreal Engine 3 has a well structured rendering pipeline, and its graphical quality is superb thanks to advanced lighting and shadowing systems,” said Young-muk Choi, lead programmer, Development Unit, NCsoft. “Tools within the Unreal Editor empower us to instantly produce and optimize our outputs, and we especially love how the engine enables designers to easily prototype concepts without the need for programming.”
Epic Games vp Jay Wilbur also expressed the company’s pleasure at once again working with NCsoft: “We are thrilled to take this next step with NCsoft, and are fully committed to supporting their projects. We expect to be completely wowed by what they do with our latest technology.”
