Rumor: Legendary Pictures Possible Acquisition of Epic Games

Rumors have arisen once again for game giant Epic Games. The game development company is famous for its top selling Gears of War which is in the process of being made into a full length motion picture.

The company that has partnered with Epic, Legendary Pictures is also the company rumored to be negotiating with the company for possible acquisition. This information is based on an article posted Friday October 24, 2008 by WRAL Local Tech Wire. According to the article executives from both companies denied comment and no mention of the rumor is to be found on Epic’s website.

Epic is located in Cary, North Carolina, a great town between Raleigh and Chapel Hill. Programmers and artists might like to know that the Epic website has a page about jobs for Xbox and next-gen PC development teams. They like C++ (doesn’t everybody?).
