Fortnite changes its game engine. Epic Games, the producer of the popular online game, rolled up its sleeves for Unreal Engine 5, which they also developed. The company, which increased the excitement by passing its game to the new season, did not neglect to give the game engine good news with its announcement.
Under normal circumstances, the good news for the middle of 2021 came true, albeit a little late. Epic Games will gradually make players feel the effects of Fortnite’s transition to Unreal Engine 5.
Fortnite becomes ‘next generation’
Unreal Engine 5, which Epic Games opened to early access, is currently not working at full capacity. While the company has enough access to demo with other game studios, they can do full development themselves. For example, the upcoming Matrix Awakens will be a tech demo developed with Unreal Engine 5. But things don’t really work that way for Fortnite.
The game, which will shift to the new generation game engine, will make its effects felt on every platform. Once fully developed, it will run on Unreal Engine 5 on PC, game consoles and mobile platforms. In this way, players will have the opportunity to take their experience a step further in terms of technology.
The performance of the new game engine, which is open for testing, is also curious. Especially the game world is in great expectation against what Unreal Engine 5 can do. It has not yet been announced what the version upgrade will bring, which Fortnite players are also curious about. Epic Games did not specify whether there will be any graphics updates or optimization differences.
Fortnite, which has transitioned to Chapter 3, is still very popular among players. Especially the latest Spider-Man add-on was welcomed by many. In addition, the net throwing mechanic added to the game caused praise from many quarters. Epic Games, which released the first season, also gave many surprises to the players. The company is trying to keep the interest in the game alive by renewing the entire Battle Pass. Let’s see if Fortnite will be able to maintain the air it caught with Unreal Engine 5, we’ll have to wait and see.
