Fortnite Chapter 3 launched a few days ago and it introduced\u00a0Spider-Man, a newly redesigned island, sliding and swinging mechanics, camps, and more<\/a>. One more thing related to Chapter 3 has now been revealed, a couple of days later: Fornite is now being developed in Unreal Engine 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Announced on Twitter by the official Unreal Engine Twitter account<\/a>, Epic Games is flipping\u00a0from Unreal Engine 4 to 5 with the arrival of Chapter 3.<\/p>\n

\n

With the arrival of Chapter 3, @FortniteGame<\/a> development has flipped to Unreal Engine 5.<\/p>\n

We’re excited to share this journey with you and are working to make this the best experience possible for the entire Fortnite community.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Unreal Engine (@UnrealEngine) December 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As for right now, this change shouldn\u2019t mean much\u00a0\u2013 what you\u2019re playing today is Fortnite, through and through. However, through Unreal Engine 5, we might one day see a massive graphical boost in the battle royale. Plus, as Epic devs\u00a0learn the upgraded\u00a0engine, other substantial technical\u00a0changes might come to\u00a0Fortnite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If Unreal Engine 5 sounds unfamiliar to you, there\u2019s a chance you might be more familiar with last year\u2019s stunning PlayStation 5 real-time demo that ran using the engine. You can watch it below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Theoretically, Fortnite could look as great as that demo one day. Of course, Fortnite has its own art style so it likely won\u2019t look like that demo, but it serves as a showcase for what developers can do with Unreal Engine 5 and if that\u2019s just a taste, we\u2019re excited to see what Epic Games does with its battle royale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re especially excited about that demo, you can buy a Fortnite skin for the character shown in it<\/a>. We\u2019ll all get a taste of Unreal Engine 5 tomorrow thanks to the upcoming Matrix Awakens experience that\u2019s now available to pre-load on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S<\/a>, and if you don\u2019t own one of those consoles, don\u2019t sweat it \u2013 more information about it will be released at tomorrow\u2019s Game Awards show<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Are you excited to see what becomes of Fortnite one day now that it\u2019s being developed in Unreal Engine 5? Let us know in the comments below!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
