EVE Fanfest 2014 is currently under way and CCP Games revealed that its upcoming dogfighting title based on EVE’s universe, EVE: Valkyrie, will be now powered by Epic’s next-gen engine, Unreal Engine 4. According to the team, this change was due to its greater familiarity with the Unreal Engine. In addition, CCP Games released a new gameplay trailer from this new UE4 version of EVE: Valkyrie that can be viewed below. Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Hopefully this won’t halt production too much, but after seeing the recent Unreal Engine 4 posts on this site, this will be a great move. Just think, Eve: Valkyrie in Unreal Engine 4+The Oculus Rift=Mind blown.
That looks pretty good actually .
It’s basically arcade style rather than the complex MMO style of Eve Online. They’re using Eve Online assets for the models and sounds, real ones will come later
Thanks for info .
Glad it’s now on UE4 which means it will get SLI support for that steady framerate while using Oculus Rift. It’s a shame the Unity Engine still doesn’t have SLI support.
what engine did they use earlier ?
Unity
pff, ok, glad they went UE4 then as much as i don’t like Epic or UE3.
