Epic and Yager Development have published a press release announcing that the German studio, who most recently released Spec Ops: The Line, are working on a next-gen project using Epic's Unreal Engine 4. Yager is the first independent European studio to license Unreal 4 and the new game is set to be unveiled in the coming months.
"Unreal Engine 4 is, hands down, the best toolset for creating next-generation, AAA games," said Timo Ullmann, managing director at YAGER. "Unreal Engine 3 enabled our great team to tap its full potential for the development for our award-winning game ‘Spec Ops: The Line' and beyond. YAGER is thrilled to be utilizing Epic's latest technology for our foremost project as the new workflow is incredible, and Blueprint visual scripting gives us more control over building our games than ever before."
"With ‘Spec Ops: The Line,' the team at YAGER demonstrated their ability to create intelligent, cinematic games with exceptional visuals, and we're excited to watch their latest vision spring to life," said Mike Gamble, European territory manager for Epic Games. "Unreal Engine 4 scales to teams of all sizes, and YAGER's new project will show what talented developers can do with leading-edge tools that unleash their creative power and productivity."
