With this release, Epic aims to empower both large and small teams to really push the boundaries of what’s possible, visually and interactively. UE5 will enable you to realise next-generation real-time 3D content and experiences with greater freedom, fidelity, and flexibility than ever before.
From next-generation real-time rendering features and new tools for building large Open Worlds, to built-in animation and mesh editing tools, enhanced path tracing, and a fresh new editor UI with streamlined workflows, Unreal Engine 5 represents a leap forward for all creators.
There are also two new free sample projects to explore – City Sample, which reveals how the city scene from The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience was built, and Lyra Starter Game, a new sample gameplay project – as well as hundreds of new UE5-compatible products on Marketplace.
