14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer Epic Games has announced that it is opening a new studio in Seattle, which will focus on creating the technology linked to the upcoming Unreal Engine 4.
Michael Capps, who is the president of Epic Games, has stated, “The proximity to key partners, the density of world-class talent and all the factors that make Seattle an attractive place to live convinced us that it is the perfect locale for Epic’s West Coast operation.”
He added, “We are looking to hire even more of the best engineers around to contribute to Unreal Engine 4, which we believe is set to change the way we all make games.”
It seems that after work on the Unreal Engine 4 is done, the Seattle studio will focus on online game services.
Unreal Engine 4 is currently only confirmed for PCs and the first game based on it is called Fortnite and will probably be launched during 2013.
