<p>Unreal Engine 5 empowers artists to achieve unprecedented levels of detail and interactivity and brings these capabilities within practical reach of teams of all sizes through highly productive tools and content libraries.</p>

<p>Join Technical Director of Graphics Brian Karis and Special Projects Art Director Jerome Platteaux (filmed in March 2020) for an in-depth look at "Lumen in the Land of Nanite" - a real-time demonstration running live on PlayStation 5 showcasing two new core technologies that will debut in UE5: Nanite virtualized micro polygon geometry, which frees artists to create as much geometric detail as the eye can see, and Lumen, a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes.</p>

<p>The system is also said to be taking elements from Unreal Engine 4.5 as well, such as Chaos physics and destruction, enhancements to audio and animation, and Niagra VFX improvements.</p>

<p>If anything, this feels like the first part of a build-up to a bigger reveal. We don’t know exactly when Sony plans to officially unveil the PS5, but they’ll probably do it sometime in June, around the intended date for E3 2020.</p>

<p>No solid release date has been set for the PlayStation 5, but it’s expected to be available sometime later in the holiday season.</p>
