Epic Games took the center stage during the GameCenter portion of today’s media event to show off a new game Epic has been cooking for the iOS platform. The game is called “Project Sword” and it’s Epic Games’ first title on the iOS platform using their Unreal Technology. Project Sword performed flawlessly during the demo. Game Center allowed players to initiate a multiplayer session from within the app and it also popped up achievements when one was unlocked.
