Epic Games Expands To Tokyo, Secret Plans To Hire Japanese Devs

Epic Games president Mike Capps announced at his Tokyo Game Show panel today that the Gears of War and Unreal Engine developer is expanding its empire into Japan. It may also have grander plans for Epic Games Tokyo.

Capps said that the Tokyo office would focus “mostly [on] technical support and sales support”, with Epic Games having an “expectation of much closer relationships with Japanese studios”. But, after praising the Japanese development community as one of the strongest in the world, he said “we may have secret plans to hire some Japanese game developers too”.
