Since the debut of his demo in 2020, there have been many rumors about Unreal Engine 5<\/strong>. Described by many as the first real look at next-gen video game development, many developers have chosen to build their next project using Unreal Engine 5 and its new technologies, such as Lumen and Nanite.<\/p>\n

Even developers and publishers who have relied on their own engines (such as Electronic Arts with Frostbite) have chosen to use Epic’s software. To name just a few: BioShock 4, the next Mass Effect game, and even the next Witcher game will be built with Unreal Engine 5<\/strong>. At the State of Unreal event held today, Epic revealed that the engine has officially launched and is ready for download.<\/p>\n

Even though Unreal Engine 5<\/strong> Boasting an improved user interface and increased performance, the real brilliance of the engine lies in the underlying technologies it uses to achieve a photorealistic effect. Nanite allows developers to introduce movie-like fidelity levels of art into their games without significantly degrading performance. For all intents and purposes, Nanite intends Level of Detail (LOD) solutions to be completely redundant by comparison.<\/p>\n

For its part, the Lumen technology of Unreal Engine 5<\/strong> It is presented as a dynamic global illumination tool that produces or mimics real-life lighting efficiently and faithfully. Epic has already shown off both technologies in its first tech demo, titled Lumen in the Land of Nanite.<\/p>\n

In addition to putting Unreal Engine 5<\/strong> Available to all developers, Epic has also decided to release a portion of the city environment that its developers built for The Matrix Awakens demo, as a playing field for other developers to test the engine’s technological capabilities. <\/p>\n

In a similar vein to Unreal Tournament, Unreal Engine 5<\/strong> it also launches with a multiplayer shooter called Lyra. Epic describes the sample game as a hands-on learning tool, allowing developers to customize Lyra to suit their needs and even use it as a good foundation for their own project.<\/p>\n

As big-budget TV shows like The Mandalorian have started using Unreal for their digital sets, the lines between video games, movies, and TV shows have started to blur in a way that was virtually incomprehensible and foolishly optimistic two years ago. decades. Kim Libreri, Epic’s chief technology officer, seems to think this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
