2K Licenses Unreal Engine 3 For Unannounced Titles

Epic Games has announced that developer and publisher 2K Games has licensed its Unreal Engine 3 for a number of yet unannounced games, chosen especially, says 2K, for its cross-platform performance on PC and consoles. 2K president Christoph Hartmann said in a statement that the publisher "had a very positive experience working with Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 since it enables games to perform exceptionally well on both console and the PC.” The company's recent best-selling BioShock from 2K Boston -- formerly Irrational Games -- was the latest high profile title from the publisher created using Epic's technology. Said Epic VP Mark Rein, “We are excited about continuing our relationship with 2K based on our past success with the company. We have no doubt that the Unreal Engine 3 will continue to assist 2K in producing the industry's most amazing and original games.”
