The world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool, 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, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Its novelties are Nanite and Lumen system.
Nanite virtualized geometry means that film-quality source art comprising hundreds of millions or billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine — anything from ZBrush sculpts to photogrammetry scans to CAD data — and it just works. Nanite geometry is streamed and scaled in real time so there are no more polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw count budgets; there is no need to bake details to normal maps or manually author LODs; and there is no loss in quality.
Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes. The system renders diffuse interreflection with infinite bounces and indirect specular reflections in huge, detailed environments, at scales ranging from kilometers to millimeters.

NEW TEASER 💥
Before we jump into the combat itself, we’re so excited to share this news with you, fellow survivors! We’ve just prepared a brand-new trailer to give you a glimpse of what you might expect from the upcoming prologue. Check this out!
STEALTH 🤫
Combat in Winter Survival takes a little different approach than you might know from many survival games out there. Fighting to survive it’s not an easy task, even for a veteran. In Winter Survival you’re a rookie in this field. Life would be just a little bit easier if you had any weapon that you could use. However, that’s not the case in the game. How do you survive in the wilderness, then? The answer is STEALTH.
DISTRACT
In most cases, sneaking past the predators will be enough, but what if they’re blocking the entrance to the cave for example? Then, distraction is your best friend. Scout the terrain around you, and see if there's any objects that you can use. Maybe there is a rock nearby that you can throw somewhere, to distract the wolves for a while.
SNEAK
Sometimes you might be stuck between a rock and hard place, and sneaking past your enemies is your only chance to survive. Every single step counts, and if you happen to make a single mistake, you’ll be punished for it.
TORCH🔥
In some cases, you’ll end up in a dire situation, and your last chance to survive is your torch. It’ll scare away the wolves and give you a brief moment to escape. However, your resources are limited, so you have to choose wisely whether it’s worth to use it.
DEATH☠️
Harsh winter conditions, limited resources, and predators lurking in the forest – The journey back home won’t be an easy one. Here, you’re the prey, and if you make even a small mistake, you’ll pay the price for it. The more careful you’re, the higher chances you have to survive.
STAY UP-TO-DATE
And that’s it for today, survivors! ❄️Feel free to let us know what you think about this kind of approach to combat. Just to remind you – a free prologue is already available on Steam, so don't hesitate and go check it out for yourself! Last but not least, don’t forget to follow us on social media channels, so you can stay up-to-date with any news. And we can assure you – there’ll be many in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more 🔥

I'm waiting for it to make my own game. Making assets and planning for it.
lol waiting for gears 6 using this engine, there will be no unreal tournament 5 at all
oh boy
It seems quite promising. This engine has enormous potential. It's definitely immersive and realistic.
I have longed for a third installment in the KotOR series and it would be a dream come true if they made it using this software, but it's only wishful thinking. To be honest, I'd love to see another Witch-er video game, because this franchise has limitless potential and relatable characters. And I've seen the Witch-er III launch cinematic numerous times and that's what I wish to see in a sequel.
I honestly think that games have a bright future. And new game engines will merge with reality to some extent someday. I'm glad that visuals will be so realistic now and that they'll encroach/border on reality in the near future. So excited.
