Acum cateva zile LucasArts a incheiat un parteneriat cu Epic Games prin care prima va primi acordul de a folosi motorul grafic Unreal Engine 3 pentru a dezvolta jocuri pentru platforme mobile, PC si console. Cei de la LucasArts intentioneaza sa produca in urmatorii ani mai multe jocuri care presupun ca vor fi disponibile pe toate platformele in aceeasi versiune. LucasArts este un mare studiu producator de filme si nu numai deci vorbim despre o companie cu indeajuns de multe resurse finaciare pentru a produce jocuri foarte bune din toate punctele de vedere.
Cei de la LucasArts nu au anuntat inca data la care vor lansa primul joc sau daca au inceput deja dezvoltarea vreunui titlu folosind noua platforma, e clar insa ca pana la sfarsitul anului vom avea ceva disponibil de la ei. Aici aveti comunicatul de presa publicat de cei de la Epic Games.
