Sega Licenses Unreal Engine For New Project

Developer and publisher Sega has announced that it has purchased another license of Epic's Unreal Engine 3 for an "unannounced, cross-platform game," following an earlier deal for 'several' other UE3 projects. Sega promises that "details of the project in development will be released at a later date," but added nothing more in its release announcing the new deal. Sega's development VP Dave Cobb added though that using UE3 "provides superior power and flexibility enabling Sega to bring original and exciting next-generation multi-platform titles." Added Epic VP Mark Rein, “Sega has cultivated some of the world’s most treasured game franchises, and we are thrilled that they have decided to make more games with Unreal Engine 3. Epic is committed to supporting SEGA with exceptional tools and technologies so it may continue to build upon its successes.”
