Mass Effect 3 to use Unreal Engine 3


Epics Mark Rain has confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be utilizing the Unreal Engine 3, just like its predecessors. This news was hardly surprising as Bioware and Epic have had a strong relationship with each other. This is also good news for any fans of the second as you shouldn't be expecting any massive graphical overhauls now.

Speaking to Develop about this, he said that “BioWare chose UE3 for the Mass Effect trilogy because they wanted to make an immersive third-person perspective shooter game with sci-fi environments."

“We have a great working relationship with Epic from both the development and licensee perspective, and we’re continually pleased with how they keep their game engine technology competitive, which helps us deliver the excellent quality games that EA customers expect,” further added EA Partners SVP, David DeMartini.

Mass Effect 3 has already been confirmed to be in production, due to Christina Norman's tweet, earlier this month.
