Activision picks UE3 for "un-announced action game"

Activision has become the latest publisher to pick up the rights to use the Unreal Engine 3 for an as-yet unannounced action game.

Laird Malamed, Activsion's head of production said of the deal: "The Unreal Engine is one of the most technically advanced engines on the market and is a perfect fit for our upcoming action game. The engine's robust suite of programming tools will enable our development team to deliver what is sure to be an amazing game experience."

There's bugger-all info on the actual game at the moment, though we're guessing it's going to be a next-gen only title that will most likely appear on 360 and PS3.

"We're extremely excited to be working with Activision" said Epic VP Mark Rein, possibly from a solid gold chair covered in licensing cash. "We've admired them for a long time and we're pleased that they've chosen to use Unreal Engine 3 and we're confident they're going to make a great game with it."
