Neat!

Does this mean a delay potentially? At least an internal one.

Toumari · Jun 10, 2020

Guess it won't be a launch title in that case. 2022 maybe?

Edit: Nevermind. Was thinking of Everwild that was supposed to be launch window.

Proven · Jun 10, 2020

Bring on July for that gameplay

Vire · Jun 10, 2020

Very cool, but I guess that confirms it's nowhere near the launch.

Delay for a game with no release date?

Uzupedro · Jun 10, 2020

Wasn't it already expected? Not that I'm complaining, it's always good to have confirmation.

You thought it was a launch title?

Maybe. I thought it was a 2021 game but maybe it got internally delayed thanks to covid, and they took the opportunity to make it UE5.

Zukkoyaki · Jun 10, 2020

Sounds like late 2021, probably 2022 then.

Dr Pears · Jun 10, 2020

Sounds like its gonna be a ways off.

zombiejames · Jun 10, 2020

Makes sense, good move.

John Frost · Jun 10, 2020

Oh wow, so 2022 at the earliest?

Strike · Jun 10, 2020

Cool.

It was never given a date.

Rowsdower · Jun 10, 2020

It was on Unreal 4 before right? Wonder if switching engined is easy or hard, unreal to unreal.

Indeed.

Halo Infinite and Hellblade at launch seems excessive.

Hence why I said internal. Games can still be delayed even without a public release date.

A keypoint of UE5 is that it supposedly makes it very easy to do.

MinerArcaniner · Jun 10, 2020

What was the initial reveal trailer run on?

Deleted member 10737 · Jun 10, 2020

neat. are they going to show some gameplay in july or does this mean it'll be a while before they can do that?

Diarrhea Day-Lewis · Jun 10, 2020

UE5 isn't available until late 2021 or am I mistaken?

that would mean no Hellblade until then or 2022 right? Makes sense I guess considering Xbox isn't doing next gen only games for first year or two

Toumari · Jun 10, 2020

I remember someone saying it was a lot closer than most people think. Launch window territory.

Hellblade 2 was never close to a launch title. Its not even 2021 looks like.

Nope because it was always using it. It's just a PR thing, I'm expecting Coalition to come out and say it and same with The Initiative. I said this when UE5 was revealed. Almost every one of these next gen games were already on this engine and just "branding" UE5 on it to keep expectations up and hype each studios games.

With Unreal Engine 5 and studio sharing, could Microsoft's First Party output quality explode?

I wouldn't be surprised if any of those UE titles were running on UE5 already.

That was Everwild.

It was never talked about as a launch title.

I thought it would be out sooner than but that's ok it will be awesome whenever it comes out

No one knew UE5 existed when Hellblade 2 was announced.

Prime2 · Jun 10, 2020

A lot of people assuming this means 2022, I would not be surprised to see some of these teams have access to Unreal 5 already and be helping Epic tweak it for commercial use.

Early 2021 in """Early Access"""

...I don't? Hence why I was speculating?

nib95 · Jun 10, 2020

Awesome. Can't wait. Expecting it to be a graphical showcase. This also gives me hope it may be a next-gen only title.

infinityBCRT · Jun 10, 2020

There is nothing in the article that suggests that Hellblade 2 started development on UE4, or that what we saw wasn't UE5.

Raide · Jun 10, 2020

I think this is obvious going by what they showed off. Initially seen as not real, the UE5 tech demo really put things into focus. Probably a 2021 launch but they need to take their time and make it amazing.

You are speculating based on nothing then.

Saying that Hellblade 2 will jump on UE5 does not mean the gam was internally delayed, if this is what you want to know.

Uzupedro · Jun 10, 2020

zombiejames said:

I mean, after the UE5 announcement, one of the key points was that the transition from UE4 for UE5 is very easy, so I was already expecting this news since is a late 2020 game at earliest.

My mistake, thanks for the correction

Toumari · Jun 10, 2020

Yeah that would make more sense.

Nostradamus · Jun 10, 2020

I think epic said UE5 is launching next year. That means that Hellblade II is several years away.
