Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Epic Games: 20 Unreal Engine 4 games in development for Switch in Japan

According to Epic Games Japan's Takayuki Kawasaki.

There are about 20 titles that use Unreal Engine 4 in development for Switch, Epic Games Japan representative Takayuki Kawasaki told Automaton in a recent interview.

“Unfortunately, there were not any Unreal Engine titles at launch, but in late March, Snake Pass, which was one of the titles playable at GDC, launched in America and Europe, and at the Nintendo Switch Presentation, there were titles such as Shin Megami Tensei,” Kawasaki said. “In Japan, there are about 20 titles being developed that use Unreal Engine, so I think that they’ll be announced gradually from here on.”

When asked if that number corresponds to Switch titles, Kawasaki said, “These are titles that use Unreal Engine, for Switch, and are being made in Japan. There may even be more. And now we’re gradually moving forward with Switch support for the free version [of Unreal Engine 4]. That way, as long as you have a Switch development license, you will be able to develop for Switch even with the free version.”

At the moment, there are only a few announced Japanese titles for Switch that use Unreal Engine 4, including Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Shin Megami Tensei, and presumably Dragon Quest XI (the Switch version has yet to be shown, so we don’t know if it’s based on the PlayStation 4’s Unreal Engine 4 version or the 3DS’s 3D/2D version).

Cool. Hope they're good.



Epic !



Dragon Quest XI is a given, porting the 3DS version has no reason, the game isn't particularly demanding (as far as we've seen so far) and it should run decently at 720p



Isn't this old news? I could swear i read this some time ago...
Still, great news!

This is great.



Hell, I'd be tired of making a new engine for every AAA style game too. Something tells me this is going to be standard in Nintendo consoles from here on out, as it should be.



Great news to hear!



Awesome! And they're Japanese developed, which means it is likely (even if only a little) that Bandai Namco, Capcom, and Square are in for the ride.





Come on now third parties, get tempted by the early sales of the system and jump on board.

If that 2.4m consoles sold in the first month is to be believed I imagine a lot of companies are now looking at ports to the Switch more seriously than pre launch.

Fingers crossed for a strong future for an absolutely amazing handheld and no slouch of a console either if you see that DF Lego Video.
