We’ve been anxiously awaiting the reveal of true next-generation gameplay ever since Microsoft and Sony confirmed that their next consoles would launch in 2020, and this week, we finally got it. On Wednesday, Epic Games shared a first look at Unreal Engine 5 with a real-time demo running live on a PlayStation 5.
Although this is not a preview of a real game, Epic says that the gameplay in the video (which we embedded below) is live game code that is playable on a PS5 development console. This isn’t a pipe dream or a prerendered cutscene — it’s a showcase of what the PS5 will be capable of achieving. That’s not to say that games will look like Lumen in the Land of Nanite (the name of the tech demo) on launch day, but they might in the future.
