Mike Gamble, European territory manager, interviewed by Edge about Epic's new Unreal 4 engine, said that a lot of new games will use it, and at least 70/30 are new IPs.

Gamble added that, thanks to a sequel, the company can fund new IPs, and noted that “There’s a lot of buffering. A lot of studios are doing a franchise iteration and a new IP.”

He also said that development started in the Christmas period, and we will maybe see first titles early in 2015, "It’ll happen this year, toward the Christmas period. Knowing the games that are in development, there are some crackers. The first quarter of 2015 is also where a lot of them seem to be aiming.”

He also added that when these first titles are announced we will be “thoroughly sick” of hearing about this awesome engine.

Mike ended by speaking about a cross-gen games, by saying that “This year there seems to be a lot of cross-gen, but that’s publishers and developers being safe, isn’t it? It’s still a good revenue stream.”
