Epic Games, Inc. announced an agreement with Square Enix Co.,
Ltd. granting Square Enix a license to develop multiple games with
Epic’s award-winning Unreal Engine 3 technology. Epic Games Japan, which
supports the company’s licensees locally, worked directly with Square
Enix on the new license.
“It is a pleasure to provide Square Enix with an exceptional game
engine that will help them bring thrilling new experiences to legions of
fans all over the world,” said Taka Kawasaki, territory manager of Epic
Games Japan. “Many Western games have achieved great success with the
Unreal Engine, and this milestone reflects the Japanese development
community’s trust in our technical prowess. We can’t wait to see how
Square Enix fuses the power of Unreal Engine 3 with its beautiful
characters, enthralling storylines and fantastic gameplay.”
Details about the games using the Unreal Engine under this license agreement will be revealed by Square Enix.
