MCV/DEVELOP News, events, research and jobs from the games industry
Clearly, the news that tools vendor and developer Epic Games is being sued by a Canadian games studio isn’t putting off others – new Swedish studio Star Vault has signed up to use Unreal Engine 3.
The engine will be used to power the team’s first project, a next-gen MMO RPG.
In the official announcement Henrik Nystrom, CEO of Star Vault (pictured) said: “The engine enables our team to effectively focus on direct game content, meaning jumpstarting development and innovation. We are really excited to be using Unreal Engine 3 and are eager to show the world our next generation massively multiplayer online role playing game.”
