Take-Two taps Unreal Engine 3

A host of new and upcoming releases from all manner of publishers have Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 running under the hood, and the list of UE3-powered titles just grew even longer. Epic today announced that it has signed a deal with Take-Two Interactive for the publisher to use UE3 in a number of upcoming (and unannounced) products from its 2K Games label.

Take-Two is one of a slew of publishers that signed on to make games using Epic's latest engine, joining Capcom, Midway, Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, THQ, Microsoft, Square Enix, and perhaps most notoriously, Silicon Knights. 2K Games' award-winning 2007 release BioShock is among the Unreal Engine 3 success stories posted on Epic's official Web site.
