Speaking to TG Daily Epic Games CEO and Unreal creator, Tim Sweeney, has revealed that the next version of its Unreal Engine will “exclusively target the next console generation”.
“Version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, Microsoft’s successor for the Xbox 360, Sony’s successor for the Playstation 3 – and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also,” said Sweeney. “PCs will follow after that.”
Unreal Engine 3 will be around for some time to come though.
“We will continue to improve Unreal Engine 3 and add significant new features through the end of this console cycle. So, it is normal to expect that we will add new stuff in 2011 and 2012,” explained Sweeney. “There is a long life ahead for Unreal Engine 3.”
Epic Games’ next Unreal Engine 3 powered title hitting stores will be the Xbox 360 exclusive action title Gears of War 2 in November 2008.
