As it turns out, though, Epic Games might not be targeting a future project just yet, and currently has no plan to resurrect the Unreal Tournament series.
Speaking with Epic’s President Mike Capps about everything from the developer’s recent collaboration with People Can Fly on Bulletstorm to the next phase of release for the Unreal Engine’s Universal Development Kit, Forbes was able to find out that Epic doesn’t even consider Gears of War 3 finished, and they aren’t working on anything Unreal Tournament related just yet.
So, even though the next iteration of Unreal Tournament isn’t in development, Epic is holding true to many of lessons learned from their work on said game. As such, they are continuing to evolve the experience of Gears of War 3 — including several DLC missions and items that will extend the life of the game. Our review of Gears of War 3 pegged it as, not only the best entry in the series, but also one of the best action shooters to hit the Xbox 360.
Needless to say we don’t see Epic Games stopping anytime soon, but, if there’s anyone that deserves a little time off after a job well done, it’s certainly Epic.
Would you like to see Epic Games next project be a Gears of War offshoot or a new Unreal Tournament? Or would you like to see an entirely new IP?
Gears of War 3 is out now for the Xbox 360.
