“We have been very impressed with the UE3 technology and design tools. It has allowed our artists to deliver the stunning visual impact they wanted, early in the project life cycle. Likewise our code team has been empowered to focus on the unique aspects of what we need, building on top of a great code base. And last but not least, our designers have been able to prototype to their hearts content,” said David Jones, Founder and Creative Director, Real Time Worlds. “As we build on the technology, extend it for our specific online needs, we plan to be a long term partner with Epic building projects of all sizes on many platforms.”

“It is a massive privilege to have Real Time Worlds using Unreal Engine 3 to create APB which will undoubtedly be another world-class franchise from the creator of so many hit games.”, said Mark Rein, Vice President and Co-founder of Epic Games Inc. “Considering the long-standing heritage and pedigree at Real Time Worlds I am certain that APB will be just the first of many major hit games they will create with Unreal Engine 3”
