Epic Games has released a new beta of the Unreal Development Kit, at last bringing Unreal Engine 3 game creation to the Mac. The current iteration of the Unreal engine is a gaming industry standard, used by many major titles like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Epic’s own Gears of War series. Until now, though, the UDK has been Windows-centric, regardless of the target platform.
The new UDK also incorporates multi-display support for iOS, whether through AirPlay or HDMI. The Unreal engine currently has a limited footprint in the iOS world, the main example being Epic’s Infinity Blade. LucasArts and Gameloft have promised to join the field in the near future, however.
