Berlin-based Yager, creators of Spec Ops: The Line (shown) has licensed Epic's Unreal Engine 4 for use in an unannounced next-gen title.

Yager said in a press release that the title will be a major triple-A game that it expects to unveil in the coming months.

In the opinion of Timo Ullmann, Yager's managing director, "Unreal Engine 4 is, hands down, the best toolset for creating next-generation, AAA games."

We shall find out soon if Yager intends on continuing Spec Ops or if this is something else entirely.

I still have to play this. Not a big fan of shooters apart from Max Payne but I've heard great things about the story to this.

Still absolutely disgusted by the gaming community when they ignored Spec Ops: The Line. One of the best narratives of this gen and nobody seemed to buy it. Shame. I hope their next title is as fantastic as Spec Ops: The Line was.

So long as they can keep the gameplay fresh. The story was admirable but I had to force myself through the slog.
by LaLiLuLeLo Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 03:27 PM

spec ops suffered from it's generic gameplay and its a shame because the story was quite interesting and well told.
by ZSloth11 Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 03:34 PM

In all honesty I found it to be a solid TPS that was immeasurably enhanced by it's story.

AWWWWW YEAH!!!!! Spec Ops: The Line was freaking amazing. A- game! I'll never forget this line from the game: "We aren't *bleep*ing CIA!". I can't wait to hear more of this game!

I doubt they could replicate the story of The Line.

I wanted to play Spec Ops but I had to do with watching vids. I Wanted to watch what was the big deal with one Game Informers “Top 10 moments of 2012” called the “White Phosphorus”…I was shocked for a week. But I hope to get the game and experience the gruesome journey.

You know what is in the coming months? Microsoft's April event, just saying they could be related.
by Robertman2 Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 03:47 PM

Cool. I hope it's story is as good as The Line's

I finally got around to playing this game a few weeks ago (because i originally planned to buy it at launch but wanted to support THQ in their struggle to hold up so I bought Darksiders 2) and it easily has one of the most incredible stories in a shooter, ever. Maybe this time though, we'll actually see the studio live up to their lofty promises they made for the first game like the Sandstorms actually reforming the terrain.
by LA643 Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 03:55 PM

I just picked this up an finished it last night. Great story. Good game.
by Phil Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 03:59 PM

got "the line" free on ps+, I played through and finished it last nite. I will definitely buy the next one.
by isower Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:00 PM

Now that Spec ops the line is now free for play station plus subscribers...maybe ill give it a try.
by Zachary Pligge Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:28 PM

Very excited. If the narrative is anything like Spec Ops was, I'm on board 100%. They just need to tweak their gameplay mechanics a bit (assuming it is a sequel or another shooter).
by Companion Cube Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:40 PM

UE4 is beautiful.
by TheVengeance Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:41 PM

Horrible story and generic gameplay wont even give it a second glance.
by dodgyboyy Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:42 PM

awesome. spec ops kicks major ass, awesome story
by John Wrek Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:48 PM

They've got some real talent. Sounds good.
by Tim Gruver Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 04:53 PM

Fans should probably be excited if the studio is as good as they say.
