It seems that not all mobile game studios are using Unity.

UK outfit Rodeo Games has announced it's the first purely mobile studio to take a licence for Epic's most advance game development technology Unreal Engine 4.

The project is unannounced but it will be a turn-based strategy game based on one of the Games Workshop's IP.

It's not due for release until Q2 2015.

Switch for the future

Significantly, Rodeo Games - which has released games like Hunters and Warhammer Quest previously used its own Taurus engine.

"We've made it our mission to raise the bar on what players can expect to see in mobile visuals and gameplay," commented Rodeo co-founder Laurent Maguire.

"In short, we want to set a new standard, and working with Unreal Engine 4 we can achieve that more efficiently and with greater impact."
