Epic Games unveils Unreal Engine 5.4 preview at State of Unreal

Epic Games unveiled its Unreal Engine 5.4 Preview 1 at its annual State of Unreal event at the Game Developers Conference.

Later this year Epic will also release a free sample learning project that includes over 500 triple-A animations created from high-end motion capture data with the locomotion and traversal dataset used in the keynote demo. Looking ahead, Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) promises even more enhancements, including a first-person camera, simplified item building, and a new Scene Graph system optimized for dynamic manipulation of game objects. Funcom also shared how two-time Academy Award-winning cinematographer Greig Fraser used Unreal Engine for planning and pre-production on Dune: Part Two, illustrating how storytelling processes behind making films and games continue to merge.
