Epic Games will soon open a studio in Australia and New Zealand to be run by former former Game Developers Association of Australia (GDAA) CEO, Tony Reed.

Reed announced both his resignation from the GDAA and the opening of the new Epic Games studio during the closing ceremony of Game Connect Asia Pacific. He didn’t give much information about the new studio, but said that “there’s going to be a lot of news” coming soon.

We’ll have more on Epic Games Australia and New Zealand as it’s available.

Epic’s latest game is the hugely popular Fortnite — if you’re wanting some Halloween hijinks, a special holiday-themed event is now on in-game.

Fortnite is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS and Android.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
