Unreal 4 will be seen “later this year” from Epic’s Mark Rein

At DICE last week, Epic games’ Mark Rein did some teasing about the upcoming game engine, telling G4 that “people are going to be shocked later this year when they see Unreal Engine 4 and how much more profound an effect it will have.” While we have heard before that Epic is working hard on Unreal Engine 4, and Epic doesn’t expect to see games using the engine until 2014, it makes a lot of sense that Rein wants to show off, especially if it means we also get to see some next-gen console reveals later on this year.

As for what it’ll look like, we can only say that it will probably look “very good.”
