Ashes of Creation on UE5?

It's obvious AOC is still roughly around 3 years out from release. Hoping that the game will be upgraded and ported over to UE5. Probably take quite a bit of work, but man looking at the engines capabilities, as well as it's workflow optimization, would probably make it worthwhile in the long run, as it can actually decrease time to flesh out the world as well.
For those that haven't seen it yet, recently released UE5 features/toolset video.

Overall, from what I've seen so far, definitely worth the consideration in upgrading the engine. Yes it will take some time to do, but will most likely shave off and save time in the long run of production. Time will tell however.
Here's to hoping though, regardless, this looks IMMENSELY impressive.
I think 3 years out is a pretty big assumption, you only know about what you see. They have tons of stuff waiting to be implemented that they needed to wait for the server stability issues to be fixed first which they have vastly improved them. When they're in the office again you should see contenet flowing. I would be willing to be Alpha 2 is before the end of the year. That will take the most time, as the beta's are usally very short.
Definitely doubt seeing Alpha 2 by years end. We are still on systems testing. Heck, we are on Alpha Island. They are ramping up on the hiring which is good sign, they are now moving forward and into asset crunch mode. Stephen has already stated in interview that production workflow actually increased under the covid lockdown, as there are less distractions at work and social mingling. Who knows how much is really already made, and being thrown into the actual map we will be playing eventually. But if I had to put my money on it. I'd be guessing roughly two years at the absolute earliest, more feasible for three. That be my opinion though =P.
We'll see what Intrepid has to say, but I'd not be against it.
We don't want to have to deal with engine issues to complicate the testing.
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
Believe me, you wouldn't want UE3...that is some real outdated stuff, not to mention various bugs that engine has.
Overall however, I believe they should hold off to first 1.0 version of the engine so that it's stable then decide from there. Based on what Epic said, the UE4 projects should be transferable to UE5 so it could be as easily as just importing. If the features are indeed as UE5 was shown to have, it would probably best for the game if they used UE5...but that is only if the features are accurate to what was said.
