Epic Games announces the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake is being built using the Unreal Engine 4. "We’re humbled that Square Enix has chosen Unreal Engine 4 to recreate one of the world’s most beloved video games of all time," said Taka Kawasaki, territory manager for Epic Games Japan. "It is a joy to work with the talented developers behind the franchise, and this marks an unforgettable moment in Unreal Engine history." This is the second FINAL FANTASY VII Remake, as one was released three years ago, but to our dismay, they are not calling this a remake of the remake. Here's more on the engine news:

“We realize how special FINAL FANTASY VII is to fans, and we place our trust in Unreal Engine 4 technology and tools to help deliver this long-awaited remake, crafted for modern platforms,” said Yoshinori Kitase at Square Enix. “Working with the team at Epic and having their support throughout this process was invaluable and we’re excited to bring the product of that collaboration to long-time fans and newcomers to the series.”
