Announced during WWDC, Apple showed that EA, Epic Games, Crytek and Unity have been working with Metal, with Epic founder Tim Sweeney showing an Unreal 4 tech demo on stage. The Zen Garden demo will be free when iOS 8 launches.



In addition, Apple showcased footage of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare up and running on an iPad, though no official announcement was made about the console and PC game coming to iOS. Metal is part of the upcoming iOS 8 update, which is scheduled to release this fall.
