Epic & NCsoft Continue Partnership

Epic's Unreal Engine 3 is practically the industry standard, and Epic's relationship with NCsoft in particular will continue for the foreseeable future.

The two companies have struck a deal for NCsoft to continue to use Unreal Engine 3, although terms of the deal have not been disclosed. NCsoft used Unreal Engine 2 for Lineage II, and is using Unreal Engine 3 for upcoming MMO Blade & Soul (shown).

"I believe we can pull the most out of the engine through the know-how that has accumulated through our experience with this superior game engine," said Hyungjun Kim, vice president for the company.
