Epic Games' Jay Wilbur (of the Unreal series fame) was on hand at last night's press conference to unveil a brand new multi-title deal between the successful developer and Microsoft. The deal will of course mean new titles for the and exclusivity for the console and the PC. Games Studios will fulfill publishing duties as part of the arrangement.

We've no official word on the titles that and their satellite developer Scion will be making for Redmond, though we reckon Bill's boys have tied up a deal that will see future Unreal titles available on the Xbox and only. Hopefully, we'll have some news on these titles soon; which, given Microsoft's Live push, it's a safe bet will be enabled.

"We're delighted to be working with Microsoft " commented Jay Wilbur, Vice President of Business Affairs at Epic, "We feel strongly that, in partnership with Microsoft, and Scion Studios will provide gamers with spectacular entertainment on Xbox and Windows platforms."
