Epic expansion

The home of the powerful new Unreal 4 engine is going to be in Seattle, as Epic reveal they're relocating development of the engine to a new studio based there.

"The proximity to key partners, the density of world-class talent and all the factors that make Seattle an attractive place to live convinced us that it is the perfect locale for Epic's West Coast operation," said Epic Games president, Dr. Michael Capps.

"We are looking to hire even more of the best engineers around to contribute to Unreal Engine 4, which we believe is set to change the way we all make games."

You can see the impressive Unreal 4 engine in action in the following Elemental Demo.
