Last weekend during a panel at PAX in Boston, Massachusetts, former Epic Games developer Cliff Bleszinski announced his new game is being made with Unreal Engine 4. Now Bleszinski's company, Boss Key Productions, has released a video teaser showing off how the game looks running in Epic's engine.
The announcement comes after Epic revealed that Unreal Engine 4 would now be free for all developers during GDC 2015.
“We considered several options regarding what technology we’d use to build ‘Project BlueStreak’," Bleszinski says in a press release. "Ultimately, we found ourselves coming full circle to my friends at Epic Games and the elegant solution for rapid and quality game development that is Unreal Engine 4.”
Project Bluestreak (working title) is a free-to-play FPS set in a post-apocalyptic environment. For more on Boss Key Productions, read about the original announcement here.

PN Opinion: Cliff Bleszinski has been making video games since he was 15. Nearly all of his titles have been hits including what is possibly my top gaming series of choice, Gears of War. The words "Free to Play" have been getting tossed around a lot in the gaming world recently and while I used to absolutely hate the idea, it's beginning to grow on me a bit more. I first experimented with F2P in Runescape around 2005 or 2006 and then with Happy Wars on the Xbox 360. After watching the trailer for Fable: Legends where they explain that you will have free access to every bit of content in the game but you can BUY to get there quicker, I was left thinking how similar it seemed to our full priced Grand Theft Auto Online, which never bothered me (I love the game in fact). So it's with that in mind that I really hope Project Bluestreak and Fable: Legends come out to be quality titles that all of my friends can play together - without paying a dime.
