Gearbox Gets Unreal

Unreal Engine 3 Licensed

Gearbox Software has announced that it has licensed Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 for exclusive use on its upcoming PC and next-gen games. Gearbox has licensed and used the Unreal Engine for its recent hit Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30, and upcoming sequel, Brothers In Arms Earned in Blood. The sequel to those titles, Brothers in Arms 3, will be the first to use the new Unreal Engine 3, along with other unannounced Gearbox titles.

"We have had a huge amount of success using the Unreal Engine technology on Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30, which has sold about 2 million copies so far, and we're also using it on Brothers In Arms Earned in Blood." says Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software, "We've used most of the major 3D engines on the market and without a doubt Unreal Engine 3 is the best. Epic's tools, technology and support are fantastic. We've chosen Unreal Engine 3 as the exclusive technology we will use for all of our own titles going forward into the next generation. We're confident that our ability to continue to create world-class titles will be enhanced by this choice."
