Epic<\/a> recently showed off their tech’s visual prowess with their Unreal Engine 4 real-time demo, and gamers who’ve seen the video<\/a> and screens<\/a> will be glad to know that the first game powered by the engine isn’t that far away.<\/p>\n

Mark Rein<\/a>, VP at Epic, revealed that a game utilising the Unreal Engine 4 is set to be released within 2013.<\/p>\n

CVG asked the studio exec when gamers should expect the engine to make its first in-game appearance, with Rein responding: “I don’t know. For sure something next year, I just don’t know exactly when.”<\/p>\n

While no date or details were given about what game it will power, it’s still an exciting prospect given the impressive nature of the tech demonstration.<\/p>\n

Rein went on to address the importance of showcasing the engine properly and at the right time.<\/p>\n

“It’s certainly important for us to have our flagship game. That’s the game for which we develop the engine. Gears of War was the game for which Unreal Engine 3 was developed, and so shipping that has a huge significance for licensees and for us. I think, for Unreal Engine 4, there’ll certainly be a couple of games”, he said.<\/p>\n
