RALEIGH, NC March 3, 2006 – Epic Games, one of the world's leading game developers and creator of the award-winning Unreal® Engine, reveals that it is planning an expanded presence at GDC. As well as bringing show goers the usual stunning Unreal Engine 3 demos and presenting key technical advancements over the past year, Epic are also expanding their presence to include a dedicated space in the Career Pavilion and special press sessions for the industry's media.

Epic will once again demonstrate Unreal Engine 3 in their private theater within their ExpoSuite, ES128, located in the main exhibition hall. Epic will showcase a number of new and improved Unreal Engine 3 features including: PlayStation® 3 and XboxTM 360 support, FaceFX cinema-quality facial animation with auto-generated lip-synching, new physics-based animation that provides gameplay features (like blending hit reactions with character animations), new in-editor performance optimization tools, a new COLLADA-compatible import pipeline, Epic's new high-performance multi-threaded renderer and much more.

Come and see why Unreal Engine 3 will be powering several significant next-generation games from some of the industry's top developers and publishers.
