SouthPeak licenses Unreal Engine across studios
PS3 Monster Madness EX next release under license
SouthPeak Games has announced a studio license agreement with Epic Games for use of the Unreal Engine 3 in the development of its upcoming videogame titles worldwide.
The agreement is in effect throughout the life of the UE3 technology application across all major platforms including downloadable content.
"Independent developers need more opportunities to bring their games to market with next-generation technology," said Katie Morgan, executive vice president at SouthPeak Games.
"UE3 provides developers all the tools and resources necessary to build great games and SouthPeak is giving talented developers a chance to focus on creating their games without spending the resources to create an engine to support it."
"We see this as a landmark agreement for Epic and the UE3 technology because of SouthPeak's focus on independent developers," said Epic's Mark Rein. "They are going to bring UE3 to a group of developers that have fantastic games but would typically have to wait a long time to work with our award-winning game engine."
The next SouthPeak release under the new studio license is Monster Madness EX: Battle for Suburbia, currently under development by Psyonix Studios for the PS3.
