Games will become difficult to distinguish from reality. Unreal Engine 5 released

Almost two years after the announcement of Unreal Engine 5, Epic Games has finally released its game engine to the masses. The updated version received many innovations, including increased performance, but separately, the developers identified several technologies designed to create photorealistic visual effects: Lumen and Nanite. It is reported by The Verge.

According to official statements, Lumen allows you to create fully dynamic global illumination, and Nanite “provides the ability to create games and experiences with a huge amount of geometric detail.” Moreover, Unreal Engine 5 will make it easier for developers to create open world games, as the engine has the ability to divide it into sections and work on them separately.

It is worth noting that Unreal Engine 5 has now been released to mass access – some studios have started using it earlier. For example, Fortnite switched to a new engine back in December last year, and CD Projekt Red confirmed that it was already creating the next Witcher on Unreal Engine 5. It also became known that Xbox Games Studios, 2K, PlayStation, Madfinger Games and others are developing games on it.
