July 20, 2006 - Though players have yet to spend time with its advanced technology themselves, Epic's Unreal Engine 3 is already a ubiquitous part of next-generation development. Today, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) announced it is has licensed the engine for its own future titles, including the still-mysterious DC Comics MMORPG project. SOE will use Unreal Engine 3 for both PC and console titles.
"Our development teams are very excited about harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 3," said SOE president John Smedley. "The combination of a top-notch graphics engine and a robust set of design tools will enable our teams to deliver incredible and innovative game (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/719/719914p1.html#) content for next-generation consoles and the PC."
SOE Austin is working with Warner Bros. Interactive on the DC Comics (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/719/719914p1.html#) online game (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/719/719914p1.html#), which is in development for next-gen platforms and the PC. Comic veteran Jim Lee is contributing to the project as Executive Creative Director.
Sony isn't announcing additional Unreal Engine 3 titles just yet, though we expect to hear more about the company's plans soon.
So far its only for this DC comics game, but wouldnt it be great for another Planetside or a new MMOFPS.
