It didn’t suprised me anymore to see Japanese developers to license engines and toolsets from Epic Games. Square Enix popularly known for their Final Fantasy game franchise have announced that they have entered into an agreement with the Unreal Engine 3 and Gears of War developer, gaining a platform for use in their upcoming games.

General manager of R&D at Square Enix, Taku Murata, explains that the deal will help them speed up the creation process and allow developers to spend less time working on the technology.

The complexity of next-generation game systems featuring HD graphics and multi-core parallel processing poses a number of technological challenges to our game development. However, we can expedite our game development process significantly while allowing extra time and resources to be spent on game design and mechanics by establishing an effective technology platform.
