Scion Studios Joins Epic Games

Scion Studios, developer of the upcoming Unreal Championship 2 for Xbox has joined Unreal's creators at Epic Games in-house, the developer announced today.

Michael V Capps, the originator of Scion Studios and designer of America's Army will become the president of Epic, while Tim Sweeney will remain in his positions as chairman and CEO

The merger roughly doubles Epic's size and exhibition capacity, with at least three throw outs now in the works at the company. Scion has a PC throw out in development along with Unreal Championship 2 while Epic has at the real least its long-running Unreal Warfare throw out

Epic is also, of course, working upon the future generations of its Unreal technlogy for licensing to other developer Epic's Mark Rein will first attempt the new Unreal Engine3 at the Game Developer's talk this month, as well as novel enhancements for the present generation of the engine, thus we'll have more Unreal of recent origins when the show rolls around.
