Capcom Vancouver is working on two unannounced games

Publisher Capcom announces that its own studio in Vancouver is looking for new staff, because the studio is working on two unannounced games. Where the studio has previously used its own engine, it is now switching to Unreal Engine 4.

The Capcom Game Studio Vancouver is looking for new employees, the publisher announces. The overview of available positions shows that the studio is working on two unannounced projects. The job ads reveal few details about the new games, other than that they would be open world action games. The studio is best known for Dead Rising 2 and its successor Dead Rising 3. The latter game appeared at the end of 2013 and what the studio has been working on since then is unknown. The announcement is not entirely new. It was already known that the studio is working on a game that falls outside the Dead Rising series. This became clear at the beginning of 2013, also then from a job advertisement.

What is new is that the studio in Vancouver is switching to Unreal Engine 4, where it has used its own engine until now. The publisher hopes to find developers who have experience with the Epic Games engine. Capcom Japan is currently already using UE4 for Street Fighter 5. The switch to the Unreal Engine makes it easier to release the new games on different platforms. Dead Rising 3 was initially only available for the Xbox One, although a version for Windows was released a year later.
