May 16, 2007 - Today, in a move that might come as a surprise to Sonic fans, SEGA announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with Epic Games to incorporate the Unreal Engine 3 into several of its upcoming, unannounced games currently in development in North America.

"SEGA is pleased to arm our developers with the sophisticated tools contained in Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3," said Simon Jeffery from SEGA of America. "Its versatility and power will help SEGA create incredible gaming experiences."

"Epic is extremely excited to be working with SEGA," said Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games. "SEGA has a long history of innovation and leadership in our industry and we're honored that they've chosen to use Unreal Engine 3."

No details of any of the under development projects were released. More information is expected to be unveiled later this year.
