Epic Games

The studio and technology company behind unreal-engine (and Fortnite, the Epic Games Store, and the Unreal-adjacent MetaHuman / RealityCapture tooling). Licenses Unreal under a royalty-based model. Referenced here as the maker of Unreal.

With unreal-engine-6 (announced by EVP marcus-wassmer), Epic is steering the engine toward its interoperable-economy bet: merging UE5 and UEFN, making Fortnite content/economies portable across games, and standardizing on Verse — engine strategy in service of the Fortnite ecosystem, not just a tools release.
