It's almost time for the most anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive of the first half of 2024 to hit the shelves. While waiting for its arrival, let's find out which graphics engine it uses Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Unlike what many people think, the Square Enix game gira in Unreal Engine 4 and therefore does not use the fifth iteration of the Epic Games graphics engine. The reason why the developers did not choose Unreal Engine 5 is very simple and was explained during an interview by Naoki Hamaguchiil game director.
According to Hamaguchi's words, Square Enix has decided not to adopt the engine that drives Fortnite Chapter 5 and a myriad of other video game productions because it is not yet possible to make the most of it and many of its features are still in development. A possible move to Unreal Engine 5 would also have affected the development timesthus delaying the arrival of the game in stores.
It is perhaps for this reason that, as is also underlined in the review of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the new chapter for PlayStation 5 does not make huge steps forward compared to the next-gen version of its predecessor and with the help of Unreal Engine 5 we would have could have found ourselves faced with a visually better product.
