Square Enix’s Luminous Engine is no longer the golden child

Tetsuya Nomura has revealed to a recent issue of Famitsu thatKingdom Hearts IIIwill no longer be using Square Enix’s Luminous Engine going forward. Instead, it will be using Unreal Engine 4 while continuing development for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Nomura has yet to reveal the specific reasoning behind the change, but was quoted saying that they’re facing “rendering” troubles in development with which Epic Games has been “really cooperative and helpful.”
