Unreal, Unreal and Cocos2d game engines will soon have easier access to Visual Studio tools

Microsoft has announced it has reached agreements to offer easier access to its Visual Studio development tools for three major game engines: Unreal, Unity and Cocos2d.

Microsoft stated:

"Each of these top gaming engines' installers will now offer the ability to co-install Visual Studio Community on Windows, along with the plug-ins required for Windows developers building for these engines. In addition, we will make it easier to discover and use the tools for Unity, Unreal and Cocos2d from within Visual Studio 2015."

Microsoft has already announced that the latest versions of the Unity and Unreal engines will support the company's DirectX 12 game graphics API for the launch of Windows 10 later in 2015.
