What Will Square Enix Make With Unreal Engine 4?

By Nicholas Tan

Square Enix has revealed via press release that it is the first developer to confirm a license agreement, publicly at least, for Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4. Working with Epic Games Japan, which provided local support (and was unknown to me until now), Square Enix has promised to produce multiple titles with the revamped engine.

Taka Kawasaki, territory manager of Epic Games Japan, is excited for the relationship:

Epic has a strong relationship with Square Enix, and it's an honor to provide their creative and technical talent with the best game technology available for licensing. We look forward to supporting their developers with world-class tools for years to come.

The press release highlights the fact that Square Enix previously used Unreal Engine 3 for Demon's Score… on iOS and Android.

So what is Square Enix going to produce with this newfound technology?
