With next-gen graphics and technology, the cost of making games has sky-rocketed. Today it’s not uncommon for a game to cost $20-$30 million to produce, but Epic’s Mark Rein says Gears of War cost them around $10 million to make. That includes a team of 20-30 people, working for two years.
It’s of course a lot easier for Epic, since they are the owners of Unreal Engine 3, which also powers Gears of War. He also said that outsourcing played a big part in keeping the cost down, where some of the game was developed at Epic Games China.
Epic will also be releasing the Unreal Engine 3 powered Unreal Tournament 2007 for PS3 and PC early next year.
