Epic Games continues to expand its business to other parts of the world and this week at the Tokyo Game Show it was revealed that the developer will open up a new office in Japan. Our sister site Joystiq reports that the office will be based in Tokyo and will mainly be used to provide Unreal Engine customer support to Japanese-based development studios. However, Epic's president Mike Capps added that the office could expand to develop actual games.

This is just the latest in Epic's expansion plans. Besides their North Carolina home base they own two development studios in the West; Chair Entertainment in Utah and People Can Fly in Poland. They also operate Epic Games Korea for engine support and they are also involved (although more indirectly) in Epic Games China.

This story about Epic does not belong here since they hate the PC.Posted at 11:51AM on Sep 25th 2009 by lokar82

I wouldn't go that far, it's just that UT3 sold VERY poorly, even though it was an amazing game. Posted at 4:25PM on Sep 25th 2009 by Cheesus Crust
