Raleigh, N.C. -- Epic Games, a PC game publisher and developer of the Unreal video game physics engine, announced this week that it has acquired the Reality Engine, a competing game engine technology, from Artificial Studios. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. North Carolina-based Epic plans to discontinue sales of the Reality Engine, but will review its technologies for inclusion in its own Unreal Engine; it also offered current Reality users "significantly discounted prices" on Unreal. Separately, Epic announced on Friday that Korean online game developer NCsoft has licensed the Unreal Engine 3 for use in its titles, which include "Lineage."
