Epic’s real-time 3D creation tool is raising the bar for photoreal visuals, tactile environments, and immersive global lighting. As a video game sub-genre, Soulslikes, with their key characteristics of deep exploration through enveloping environments – plus challenging, rewarding combat – are the perfect match for UE5’s graphical prowess. Here’s a rundown of upcoming Soulslike titles being developed in Unreal Engine 5.
Black Myth: Wukong
Black Myth: Wukong is an upcoming action RPG adaptation of Chinese literary classic Journey to the West, promising a prestige take on the Dark Souls formula blending brutal, lightning-fast combat with an East Asian flavour. Alongside sheer strength, players in command of Monkey King Sun Wukong possess magical abilities to transform into multiple animals and objects in merciless bouts with the game’s humungous mythological beasts.
