Grasshopper licenses Unreal Engine 3, rainbows no longer possible photo

Grasshopper Manufacture has secured the rights to use Unreal Engine 3 for their upcoming action horror game. The game, if you remember, was the result of an exclusive deal with Electronic Arts way back in August. The details on the title are still sparse, but we do know that the game will be multiplatform, Suda 51 will be involved, and it is now using UE 3.

Grasshopper will join a long list of games utilizing UE 3. Gears of War, BioShock, Medal of Honor, Army of Two and Grimm Episode 1 are all built upon the engine and we can only guess that list will continue to expand as colors like “violet” and “blue” continue to be discarded.

Kidding aside, I have some pretty high hopes for this title. Hopefully, Grasshopper’s sales will finally match their artistry this time around.

Next week, Unreal will announce that every major game developer has licensed Unreal Engine 3. Except for Silicon Knights, that is.

I heard Grasshopper Manufacture and came running.

But seriously, I think Grasshopper could do some badass things with Unreal 3. Despite the quality of the game, Grimm was fucking pretty (if you could run it, which for some reason is like running Crysis).

I'm so tired of that shitty engine.

@Celica

Don't be, NMH was terrible. Full of style yes but fell short in the gameplay department.
