[[Epic Games]] is a development and publishing studio better known for its franchises ''[[Fortnite]]'', ''[[Unreal]]'', ''[[Gears of War]]'', and ''[[Bulletstorm]]'', as well as its most widespread technology, the [[Game Engine|Unreal Engine]].
 
They've started in 1991 as Potomac Computer Systems, and their first game ever, ZZT, was developed using Turbo Pascal. The studio would latter be recognized as Epic Megagames, and shortly before the launch of the first Unreal Tournament, the company would rename itself as simply Epic Games.

=== Tropes related to this company ===
* [[Ascended Fanfic]] / [[Promoted Fanboy]]: It became a constant since ''[[Unreal|Unreal I]]'' that Epic may pick up members of their community, so they can work with them. There are some examples in the [[Unreal]] page, most notably ''Make Something Unreal'' contest winners.
* [[Epic Games Store]]
* [[Game Engine]]: The ''Unreal Engine'' series. Still quite popular to this day, at roughly version 3.5, and with a fourth version on the way.
* [[Obvious Beta]]: Their latest games would find their way as incomplete releases, with Epic themselves releasing A LOT of patches. As of now, the worst offender is ''[[Unreal Tournament 3|Unreal Tournament III]]'', which had many [[Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Bugs]] in the GUI before the [[Updated Rerelease|Black Edition]].
