Epic and People Can Fly
Epic announced today that it has acquired a majority interest in Polish game developer People Can Fly, the team best known for the superb Painkiller franchise, and most recently, the PC port of Epic’s own Gears of War. In addition, the two have been collaborating on a new property which Epic will be previewing to publishers at the Leipzig Game Convention this week.

“PCF showed us their early prototypes within only a few weeks and we were totally blown away,” said Mark Rein of Epic. “The quality of their work was extremely high, and knew we had to find a way to work more closely with them in the future.”

“Working with this team of guys who love making over-the-top shooters was a blast, and we didn’t want it to end,” said Dr. Michael Capps, President of Epic Games. “And their work was outstanding. The multiplayer levels they created for Gears PC look as good or better than the original. How could we not jump at the opportunity to work together on a long-term basis?”
