Project 51 Goes Unreal
And yet another developer jumps aboard the Unreal train… Bluehole Studio, a Korean studio, has announced plans to use Unreal Engine 3 to power its MMORPG, codenamed Project 51.
“At Bluehole Studio, we are striving to advance the MMORPG industry by leveraging high quality graphics. Thus, we are very pleased to collaborate with Epic, because Unreal Engine 3 is the best choice for our development framework,” said Yong-hyun Park, chief technical officer of Bluehole.
No information on the game was released, though it may be years from release right now. The studio itself was founded last year and is based in Seoul. They plan on creating an ambitious “blockbuster flagship title,” the aforementioned Project 51.
