Utvikleren Bioware er nok best kjent for Knights of the Old Republic og det kommende Jade Empire spillet. Nå har firmaet nettopp offentliggjort at de har kjøpt en lisens til å bruke Unreal 3-motorenen som er utviklet av Epic Games.
Dette kjøpet skal sikre at utvikleren kan levere et nydelig og teknisk imponerende spill en gang i fremtiden. Greg Zeschuck sa følgende:
"One of our development teams will now focus on using Unreal Engine 3 to help us create a great gaming experience in a timely manner. The Unreal Engine has powered some of our favorite games, and we're looking forward to upholding the great history of this engine with an awesome game from BioWare. Meanwhile, BioWare will continue to independently develop our own cutting-edge engine technology for future titles!"
Hos Epic Games er de også fornøyd med avtalen. Her sier Tim Sweeney følgende:
"We're thrilled that BioWare has chosen to work with Unreal Engine 3. BioWare's decision reinforces that Unreal Engine 3 is not only a next generation, multi-genre game engine but also that it can work well for all developers, from small teams to world-class, technologically-savvy companies like BioWare."
