Speaking at GamesFest, Epic Games president Mike Capps revealed that Unreal Engine 4 is now in production and is expected for the PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox. He added that the next console generation may run from “2012 to 2018.”

Surprised the PC wasn’t mentioned? Apparently the engine is being built for consoles first, with the PC following afterwards, as revealed by company founder Tim Sweeney.

Unreal Engine 3, the current version of the technology, is very popular among developers. It is multiplatform, including PC, but does not support the Wii due to lack of horsepower.
