Unreal Engine 5 is powering numerous anticipated upcoming projects, including STALKER 2, Kingdom Hearts 4, Gears 6, and a whole lot more, so any update on what’s going on with the cutting-edge engine is pretty big news for the industry.

Well, today Epic announced that, in conjunction with GDC 2023, they’ll be holding a new “State of Unreal” showcase. The company promises updates on the latest Unreal Engine 5 tech and a look at new projects, some of which will likely be coming from their “talented partners.”

“Get a glimpse at what’s in store for the future of game development as the Epic Games team takes the stage with our talented partners. We’ll take a look at some new projects, dive into the latest Epic tech, and have some fun along the way. Can’t make it in person? Watch the livestream on YouTube or Twitch!”

Last year’s State of Unreal show was a fairly substantial one, as Epic delved into the tech behind The Matrix Awakens, showed off the Lyra and The City demo, revealed that CD Projekt Red was switching to UE5 for their future games, and hosted Crystal Dynamics as they announced a new UE5 Tomb Raider game. Hopefully, we get some equally-meaty announcements from this year’s show. Also, let’s hope they spare at least a few words for some of the issues Unreal PC ports have been having lately.

The State of Unreal showcase will on March 22 at 9:30am PT. The show should be approximately an hour long. So, what are you hoping to see from Epic Games and Unreal Engine 5 this year?

I remember when they did things like this a year before the new consoles came out.

Better 4 years late than never I guess ...

"and hosted Crystal Dynamics as they announced a new UE5 Tomb Raider game".
What? I missed this. I love the Tomb Raider reboot games.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

it'll be good to see more games using the engine instead of tech demos which in most cases - do not represent what UE5 can do.

Will the stream stutter though?

Man this unreal engine CPU performance is atrocities and is gasliting many threads on steam 'your CPU ain't good bro' meanwhile 12400 sitting there be like 10% 25% on max settings and you are like wtf is this. I am worried that many CPU are going to die of boredom due to unreal engine 5 and it's lousy implementation by lousy Dev's and even consoles are not going to be spared. 720 native 1080p~1440p FSR upscaling, utter shite looking games like Forspoken. Ye Nanite...just so that the most dumbass built in paywall feature DLSS3 can save the day. Fuck that.

"State of Shader Compilation Stutter"

the real title right there

 

[ozz ex machina]

How about a "State of unreal tournament" you fuckers. Pulling OG Unreal games from all your stores is fucking criminal.

 

[ADiTAR]

Excited to see UE5 on Switch.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Silent Hill 2 is Unreal Engine 5

 

[Hobbygaming]

New beautiful games I'm here for it

 

[Elios83]

Ueda has a game with Epic...maybe 6 years after TLG they're ready to announce their next game?

 

[Fatmanp]

Just give me the location of the .ini file for the stream so i can fix the stutter.

 

[Black_Stride]
