Overview edit · view history

Yingpei Games was set up in September 2006 as Epic Games China to provide low-cost game asset outsourcing to both Epic Games and third parties. Based in Shanghai, it is run by the team responsible for content development at studios including Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Shanghai.

At the CEDEC Premium conference at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2006, Epic Vice President of Business Development Jay Wilbur explained that the cost per man month (including overhead) to produce games in North America is around $9,000, and in Europe and Japan, it's $8,500 per man month. But costs per man month in China are less than $4,000 - hence Epic's choice to keep its core team at Epic's NC offices, but outsource significant amounts of art creation for its games.

The company separated from Epic Games in March 2012, renaming itself to Yingpei Games.
