Mark Rein, Co-Founder of Epic Games, sat down with Edge Magazine to talk more about Unreal Engine 3. Of course, as with any interview with Mark, the questions always come up about Android, which is great except he is probably sick of it by now. Either way, he does mention problems still with Android.

Perhaps it was the out pour of gamers and developers on Android going “really? REALLY?” that prompted some new information about the next Unreal Engine and it’s developer kit in terms of Android support. Yesterday word spread that Unreal Engine would not be supporting Android for a few ‘reasons’.
Well it seems that the Unreal Engine by Epic is all but officially confirmed to be coming to Android. Ever since GDC 2010 when it was mentioned that support for the iPhone (now iOS in general) was coming to the UDK (Unreal Developers Kit), eventual Android support was left in the air for all to speculate on as no official word at GDC 2010 was ever mention.
Well the Epic Press Conference just ended and it wasn’t really a long one either. A brief mention about the iPhone getting the Unreal Engine at some point soon was one announcement they made. Also they showed a game called APB (All Points Bulletin). However, any news about Android…didn’t happen.
