Epic Games' President Mike Capps has been discussing his company's middleware at GameFest in Seattle. There, he commented on Epic's plans for Unreal Engine 4, the next-generation of the popular middleware.

"We've got Unreal [Engine] 4 in production right now... it's going to be in the next console generation - our rough guess is 2012 [to] 2018," said Capps, according to Gamasutra.

This console focus reaffirms the direction Epic CEO Tim Sweeney revealed for the company when he said, "The Unreal engine is really tied to a console cycle."
