Epic has over 800 million accounts and over 6 billion friend connections across Fortnite, Fall Guys, Rocket League, and the Epic Games Store. The company also develops Unreal Engine, which powers many of the world’s leading games and is also adopted across industries such as film and television, broadcast and live events, architecture, automotive, and simulation. Through Fortnite, Unreal Engine, Epic Games Store, and Epic Online Services, Epic provides an end-to-end digital ecosystem for developers and creators to build, distribute, and operate games and other content.
Joining us from Epic is Arjan Brussee. He created Jazz Jackrabbit 1&2 with Cliff Bleszinski, a game published by Epic Megagames between 1994-97. He co-founded Guerrilla Games (acquired by Sony in 2005) where he worked on all the Killzone titles and early production on Horizon Zero Dawn. He joined EA in 2012 to work on various entries in the Battlefield series, and left in 2014 to set up Boss Key Productions where he built the team for and shipped Lawbreakers. Late 2017 he returned to Epic Games. After collaborating on various technical projects in Fortnite and launching UE5 he’s now a Technical Director for Unreal Engine. We can’t wait to pick his brains!
