With the title “State of Unreal,” Epic Games has given a glimpse into the future of its Unreal Engine 5. We have compiled all the important information from the live stream for you.
The visual highlight of the presentation was a detailed look at “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra”. An impressive story trailer specifically showed, among other things, what is now possible in this regard – but take a look for yourself:
In addition, a preview version of Unreal Engine 5.4 should be available starting today. The full version will follow at the end of April.
Furthermore, the UEFN, the editor that lets us create our own content in “Fortnite” based on the Unreal Engine, is now also compatible with MetaHuman. Content from “Lego”, “Rocket Racing” and (from May) “Fall Guys” also ends up in “Fortnite”. The same applies to three new Lego islands and more will follow. The UEFN will of course also be further developed.
A total of over 800 film and television projects now use the Unreal Engine. This is an increase of approximately 45 percent compared to last year.
