In a recent interview, CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeny said that Epic will continue to improve and expand Unreal Engine 3 for the next few years, and that Unreal Engine 4 (When it is made), will focus mainly on Sony and Microsoft's upcoming consoles.

"The Unreal engine is really tied to a console cycle. We will continue to improve Unreal Engine 3 and add significant new features through the end of this console cycle. So, it is normal to expect that we will add new stuff in 2011 and 2012", said Tim Sweeny. "There is a long life ahead for Unreal Engine 3."

"Version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, Microsoft's successor for the Xbox 360, Sony's successor for the Playstation 3 - and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also. PCs will follow after that."
