Mozilla port Unreal engine to browser

[Dark Drakan]

Epic and Mozilla have today announced that they are porting Unreal Engine 4 to the browser. At the moment Epic and Mozilla are just previewing a demo of the engine running in the browser, however it will soon be available under Epic’s standard terms for developers. Brendan Eich, CTO and SVP of Engineering at Mozilla had the following to say...

This technology has reached a point where games users can jump into via a Web link are now almost indistinguishable from ones they might have had to wait to download and install. Using Emscripten to cross-compile C and C++ into asm.js, developers can run their games at near-native speeds, so they can approach the Web as they would any other platform.​
