Epic Has No Plans to Make the Next Unreal Game

In an interview with Forbes, Epic Games president Mike Capps quipped that they are currently not working on an Unreal IP project at this time.

Unreal is the game that put Epic on the map. It’s gone through multiple game publishers over the years. What role does that franchise play with Epic today, in light of the success Gears has had?

Unreal and Unreal Tournament continue to have a huge influence on the studio here, even though we’re not currently working on an Unreal IP project. Epic’s core game making philosophy of “when everyone says it’s done, keep polishing!” came from our experiences with Unreal Tournament. That’s the beginning of our quality-focused studio DNA.
