Unreal Engine 4 in the works.

July 24, 2008 in News comments 3

Epic's Mike Capps has suggesting the next version of Unreal Engine 4 is in the works and will be released "in the next console generation". What does this mean for gaming's future? I guess it's safe to say we're gonna be waiting a while to see it.

Specifically, Epic president Capps - who introduced a Gamasutra-attended Gamefest panel that included notable Unreal Engine 3-using creators such as Gearbox's Randy Pitchford, mentioned that the Unreal Engine tools had a markedly "console focus" going forward, and then noted:

"We've got Unreal [Engine] 4 in production right now... it's going to be in the next console generation - our rough guess is 2012 [to] 2018."
