Epic Launches Seattle Studio for Unreal Engine 4 Work

September 6, 2012 by Alex Co

Epic has launched a new studio in Seattle to work on its next-gen game engine Unreal Engine 4.

Epic Games, the studio responsible for Gears of War and the Unreal Engine powering a lot of current-gen games (Arkham City, etc), is opening a new studio in Seattle to work on Unreal Engine 4.

Unreal Engine 4 is, of course, Epic's new game engine for next-gen platforms and was unveiled earlier this year. In the press release, Epic states that they're now hiring developers to work on their latest technological projects.

Mike Capps, Epic Games President had this to say regarding the newly opened studio.

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. 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.

If you have what it takes to be part of Epic's staff, you can apply by going to their careers page.

Can the Unreal Engine 4 attain the same level of success as its predecessor? It's worth noting that more and more publishers are highlighting their game engines — though most of them are for internal use only. There's Kojima Productions with their FOX Engine, EA with DICE's Frostbite 2, Square Enix's Luminous Engine and Crytek's CryEngine 3 to name a few.

Based from what we've seen from Unreal Engine 4, can Epic pull it off yet again?
