EA has extended and expanded their 2006 license agreement with Epic Games, allowing the publisher to use Unreal Engine 3 in more than five upcoming titles currently in development. At present, EA is keeping their mouth shut as to what any of those five titles may be.

Since licensing the engine in 2006, EA has used UE3 for Medal of Honor Airborne and the recently-released Army of Two. Clearly, the publisher is more satisfied with Epic’s engine that other developers.

In fact, Frank Gibeau, President of EA Games, said, “With the largest and most talented studio operation in the world, it’s critical for us to give our studio teams the best tools they need to make great games. This agreement reflects our commitment to Epic’s technology which, in combination with our own cutting-edge systems, allows us to create ground breaking hits.”
