Square Enix has signed its second agreement to license Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 for multiple titles. The first time was way back in 2007 and the only game that came of the agreement was The Last Remnant. Internally, Square has developed its PS3-centric White Engine, which later became the multiplatform Crystal Tools. Unfortunately, the company still had to utilize a custom engine for Final Fantasy XIII, and it has recently revealed its next-generation internal engine, the Luminous Engine.
"It is a pleasure to provide Square Enix with an exceptional game engine that will help them bring thrilling new experiences to legions of fans all over the world," commented Taka Kawasaki, territory manager of Epic Games Japan.
"Many Western games have achieved great success with the Unreal Engine, and this milestone reflects the Japanese development community's trust in our technical prowess. We can't wait to see how Square Enix fuses the power of Unreal Engine 3 with its beautiful characters, enthralling storylines and fantastic gameplay."
So, Last Remnant 2 confirmed?
