In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lumen and the Land of Nanites, we got to see Unreal Engine 5's dynamic lighting technology in action, while Nanite showcased textures and objects that were as true to life as the real thing.

Alongside Unreal Engine 5, Epic is also providing us with a free "starter game" called Lyra. Lyra replaces Unreal Engine 4's ShooterGame with an upgraded set of tools that can serve as "an excellent starting point for game developers to create new projects, as well as a hands-on learning resource."

Lyra comes with two game modes: Expanse (team deathmatch) and Convolution (control point). Players control either Manny or Quinn, the two models available in Lyra, which are both armed with either a pistol or assault rifle. There's only one level, which is a sort of high-tech office building full of hamster tubes.

It's not really intended as a full game, but you can play it if you sign up on .

As for full games, there are plenty of studios working on new games that ꦓwill be powered by Unreal Engine 5, and just today the next Tomb Raider will also join them.
