Having dipped their toes in the Unreal Engine waters with The Last Remnant, SquEnix has now taken the plunge by licensing the engine for multiple unannounced games.

Epic Games, Inc. today announced an agreement with Square Enix Co., Ltd. granting Square Enix a license to develop multiple games with Epic's award-winning Unreal Engine 3 technology. Epic Games Japan, which supports the company's licensees locally, worked directly with Square Enix on the new license.

"It is a pleasure to provide Square Enix with an exceptional game engine that will help them bring thrilling new experiences to legions of fans all over the world," said Taka Kawasaki, territory manager of Epic Games Japan. "Many Western games have achieved great success with the Unreal Engine, and this milestone reflects the Japanese development community's trust in our technical prowess. We can't wait to see how Square Enix fuses the power of Unreal Engine 3 with its beautiful characters, enthralling storylines and fantastic gameplay."

Details about the games using the Unreal Engine under this license agreement will be revealed by Square Enix.

Not to mention flirting with UE3 while publishing DX:HR. While I don't know explicitly what (probably in the credits roll), publishers do more than just yell at developers to hurry up.
