Epic Games working on new PC-only title

It has been a long time since Epic Games revealed anything that wasn't Gears of War or Unreal Engine related. That was until this weekend. No info is really available other that the fact a new game is in development. Cliffy B said so.

At an Epic Games panel this weekend at PAX East in Boston, featuring president Mike Capps and creative lead Cliff Bleszinski, both admitted they were working on a PC-only title. Capps told Joystiq after the panel that the game was already in development and it would stay exclusive to the PC.

Keep in mind that these days, PC-only could mean a casual game or a social game, but given the track record of Epic as a hard-core shooter developer, we can only hope that the project would be another game in the Unreal series.

    The Fortnite teaser didn't have huge dudes in football shoulder pads, so there's hope.
    
    The "bro" art style got started with the Unreal Warfare tech demo way back in GDC 2001; that eventually evolved into Gears, but the art style carried over into UT2003, with the "geneboosted" gladiators with the huge armor suits. Epic went 10 years with that art style; I think it's time for a change.
