Eidos Montreal Has Several Projects in The Works, All In Unreal Engine 5

Eidos Montreal studio head David Anfossi outlined the current development slate of the studio following the acquisition by Embracer.

Another proprietary engine bites the dust.
This time, the Dawn Engine.

I guess with all these third parties jumping at the chance to use UE5 to make development easier for themselves, we can at least be happy that the games can look entirely different from each other and not blurry Vaseline with texture pop in like before.

Still love in-house engines though over general.

My fav game of all time which was soul calibur . Went to unreal engine and totally lost its feel that I was used to. Still good but not standout anymore.

Good for open worlds though,.i supose.

I would say UE5 is better for multiplat games where a 'one size fits all' approach is needed....but nothing will beat a first party engine custom designed for the hardware and employed by a team who are specialists in its use. Just look at what Sony's devs were able to do on the PS4 with games like Uncharted 4, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, The Last of Us 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and even the ancient Order 1886 visually speaking....these games look astonishing even now. I don't think people fully realise just how mindblowing the results are going to be when they harness the full capabilities of the PS5 with these engines for next gen only games. Horizon Forbidden West and GOW Ragnarok will pale in comparison......just wait and see.

I hope one of them is Deus Ex. We need that ending.

Ugh. "The home of Thief and Deus Ex?" For f**** sake, do something with Legacy of Kain!

[Master-Tonberry]

I'm really not sure everyone throwing all their eggs into the UE5 basket is a good thing. The engine looks impressive no doubt in tech demos, but until I see a game using it running at 60+ fps on console I will remain unconvinced it's the best fit when prioritizing performance over visuals. I REALLY don't want a return to the days of 30fps being the standard on console.

Hopefully one of those games is a new Deus Ex title.

My favorite engine so far is Source 2, still waiting on S&box to release for some of that goodness.

UE5 looks nice but I hope it runs well. At least next gen GPUs are just around the corner which should run games on it really well.
