Avalon Style Entertainment, a leading Russian developer, has announced it has licensed Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 to develop the latest instalment in its popular 4×4 Off Road racing simulation series for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

4×4 Off Road III will be published by 1C Company and will feature realistic off-road tuning with the ability to modify parts. Driving will often require players to use items including winches, car jacks, air compressors, differential locks and more. What Avalon hopes will set the game apart from other 4×4 off-road racers is the inclusion of trial-based races in which players must use problem solving skills to traverse mud puddles and scale massive heaps of rock.

“Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 is at the forefront of multiplatform game development,” said Vyacheslav Gordeyev, CEO of Avalon Style. “The technology has been successfully used in many critically acclaimed titles, and we feel fully armed to make the first off-road driving simulator on Unreal Engine 3 thanks to its built-in vehicle support, powerful PhysX system, and many other leading edge features.”
