Unreal Engine 5 in AOC?

nblm

Will Ashes of Creation use UE5? I'd love to see it in this game. It looks pretty awesome and a lot easier to use.

No.

Didn’t Intrepid say that while it’s unlikely, they will look into upgrading to UE5? I’m paraphrasing of course.

Well if they don't use it they should definitely try to copy pasta some of it, I am by no means a developer but that thing looks super convenient to use.

Key part is the “custom” engine changes. That’s kind of the difference from a game that works to one that doesn’t.

They did say that you can import UE4 projects into UE5. So it might be possible

Yes, if you create the whole project in UE4, you can import. Intrepid has written a boatload of code for at least the networking and multiplayer parts. All of that code would have to be tested and validated with UE5 before use.
Just remember that the first few months of any software release is bug fixes, so we also don't want to add that issue to the Alpha testing that is about to happen.

I'm happy if they stick with UE4, coz other MMO's have stuck with older engines and survived a decade without major overhauls.

That said, I would be mighty impressed if they can pivot to UE5 - better earlier than later.

there is a lesser studio who imported UE4 to UE5, they said it was super easy to do, they did it mid development too, and a quote that's a year old doesn't help anyone lol

The issue here is that Intrepid have heavily edited UE4.

There is a fairly large difference between shifting a project from standard UE4 to UE5, and shifting a project from partial UE4, partial custom engine over to UE5.

Also, the age of the quote doesn't alter the difficulty of the task.

yeah, such a move would definitely be a signficant setback in their design schedule (for engineering in particular).

Would be amazing though, if they can make full use of UE5's new tech alongside their own - especially if it simplifies their design pipelines.

Yes a setback and a cost, but I wonder if future cost and benefit might actually outweigh that..

Rendering capacity, multiple user collaboration capability, lighting improvements.. the list is quite extensive.. and possibly a big and beneficial jump

If they pivot to ue5 I'm taking Noaani's 2028 estimate. But hey did you see the ray tracing on my elf's shiny forehead with my 12000$ graphics card?

you CAN'T hate on raytracing, it's actually so pretty

JustVine

I do like it quite a lot. But the price tag on the hardware is currently not yet accessible enough to warrant integration let alone in an mmo. It's the one 2028 thing I think is a valid if semi-shallow and unreasonable expectation of the graphics looking dated. I expect it to become cheap and pervasive by then for new/slightly older.Maybe even 'standard'. But mmos need to reach the widest population possible and that, means 7-10 year old machines.

They talked about this in the last Development Update. Stephen said they had formed a Task Force to evaluate UE5.

That's why I laughed when the first response on here was "No."...

To be honest, I don't think they should go to UE5 unless it's very easy to port their custom UE4 backend over. The game probably won't be out until UE6 or UE7 is released, so it's probably better to just wait and do a remaster after release.

Well unless Ashes isn't releasing until 2028/2035 then the game will release before UE6/7 releases.
