Luminous Studio: Square Enix's next-gen engine

Japanese technology writer Zenji Nishikawa has had an early look at Luminous Studio, Square Enix's next-generation engine. His thoughts for Impress Watch have been summarised by Andriasang, and reveal the emphasis the company is placing on animation and, in news that chimes well with worldwide technology director Julien Merceron's recent comments, AI. While Nishikawa compares Luminous Studio to Epic Games' Unreal Engine, Square Enix apparently has no plans to license its engine to other developers. The company intends to show off the engine's capabilities with a tech demo late next year.
