I only know a couple of studios who have their hands on the UE5 alpha. These guys might be targeting UE5, but I really doubt they have it. Much larger studios who want to use it have not been able to get their hands on it. I know some studios who plan on using it based on the info from the demo, but there's so much we don't know yet. We also don't know how stable and ready the engine is for a fully fledged game.
One big question mark is if the XBSS is going to be able to handle it, if UE5 is flexible enough to run on it. This is a big leap in technology, and we know for a fact that the PS5 SSD is part of the reason it works (and I imagine, despite its SSD being slower (simplified statement), the XBSX will be able to handle it too).
I don't believe this is using unreal engine 5 *yet*. That engine is not available to external developers until next year. They say it *will* use ue5, but any game on ue4 can be ported down the road so that doesn't say much.
Yeah, I am as well. Unreal engine 4 did work wonderful for Days Gone with the open world, my is it gorgeous and dense, and scary. Unreal Engine 5’s extremely impressive I wonder, will Bend will go with UE5 for the sequel?
I think they will. Bend has devs that work very closely with Unreal Engine so they'll know how to get the most from UE5. Days Gone 2 is going to look amazing
I didn’t know they had devs working closely with Unreal engine, that’s great. And yeah, I can only imagine how amazing it’ll look, and how many freakers on screen they’ll be able to bring this time, and how different they’ll react and so on. Can’t wait!
Developers are using tools to develop now, UE4.25 (UE4 with UE5 dev options).
This will then directly port over to Unreal Engine 5, chances are there are a lot of games being developed with UE5 in mind.
Directly from Unreal :-
"Unreal Engine 4.25 already supports next-generation console platforms from Sony and Microsoft, and Epic is working closely with console manufacturers and dozens of game developers and publishers using Unreal Engine 4 to build next-gen games.
Unreal Engine 5 will be available in preview in early 2021, and in full release late in 2021, supporting next-generation consoles, current-generation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.
We’re designing for forward compatibility, so you can get started with next-gen development now in UE4 and move your projects to UE5 when ready. "
