Activision gets rights to ride Unreal Engine 3

Activision has just announced in a recent release that they have acquired the license to use Epic Games‘ middleware program, the popular Unreal Engine 3. Meanwhile, Activision continues to tease the gaming community by stating in their release that the engine will be used “for an upcoming as-yet-unannounced action game”. Talk about showbiz.
