Epic & NCsoft Continue Partnership
Epic's Unreal Engine 3 is practically the industry standard, and Epic's relationship with NCsoft in particular will continue for the foreseeable future.
The two companies have struck a deal for NCsoft to continue to use Unreal Engine 3, although terms of the deal have not been disclosed. NCsoft used Unreal Engine 2 for Lineage II, and is using Unreal Engine 3 for upcoming MMO Blade & Soul (shown).
"I believe we can pull the most out of the engine through the know-how that has accumulated through our experience with this superior game engine," said Hyungjun Kim, vice president for the company.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
