"Epic Citadel," Epic Games' visually-stunning free Unreal Engine 3 tech demo
for Apple's iOS mobile devices, has been downloaded 1 million times from the
App Store, signifying strong interest in the engine's mobile debut.

Speaking at the Korea Games Conference in Seoul, South Korea Tuesday, Epic
Games confirmed that Citadel had reached the milestone after just
<http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/30217/Epic_Chair_Reveal_UnrealPowered_iP
hone_Game_Project_Sword.php> releasing the app on September 1. 

 <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/epic-citadel/id388888815> The demo allows
users to navigate through a "fictional castle realm" on their Apple mobile
devices, and observe UE3's technical capabilities on iOS. Epic Citadel
supports iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, third-generation iPod Touch,
fourth-generation iPod Touch and iPad. 

The Gears of War developer also confirmed that the Unreal Development Kit
will be able to generate apps across all iOS devices, including iPad, iPhone
and iPod Touch. Epic's first iOS UE3 game will beProject Sword, an action
RPG-like game from subsidiary and Shadow Complex developer Chair
Entertainment.

Epic is looking into bringing UE3 to other mobile mobile platforms, namely
Google's Android OS. Studio VP Mark Rein said
<http://www.twitter.com/markrein> via his Twitter account, "We've demoed
Unreal Engine 3 on Android [with] Tegra 2, and at [the Korea Games
Conference] today we showed it on a Samsung Galaxy S device."

Rein said that he suspects UDK will "eventually" support the Android
platform, "but iOS is the priority for now."

Florida developer and UE3 licensee Trendy Entertainment
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASE5uScZolg&feature=youtu.be> recently
posted footage of its upcoming Xbox Live Arcade, PSN and mobile game Dungeon
Defenders running on UE3 on iPhone and Android.

In South Korea Tuesday, Epic VP Jay Wilbur also announced a UE3 licensing
deal with major Korean online game company Neowiz. Epic called the deal "one
of the biggest Unreal Engine 3 licensing partnerships since Epic Games
Korea's inception." Wilbur only revealed that Neowiz would "use Unreal
Engine 3 for its next big projects."

Rein also confirmed that overall, UDK has "more than 350,000 installations,
which is pretty amazing for a game engine."
