Despite 2005's disastrous
Advent Rising, which was built on Unreal Engine 2.0, Chair Entertainment will continue to use Epic's tech ...
for-ev-AR. The indie developer has signed an exclusive deal with Epic to license Unreal Engine for all current and future projects. While the deal extends across the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 platforms (
no Unreal for Wii, remember?),
Undertow, Xbox Live Arcade's submerged shooter, is the studio's only project known to be in development (not that we've been holding our breath for the rest of the canned
Advent trilogy).
As
previously disclosed,
Undertow will feature both a 15-level campaign (with co-op support) and a pair of 16-player multiplayer modes, packed tight like shredded tuna into the
old 50MB XBLA standard.
Undertow is tentatively scheduled for release this summer.
