inXile AAA RPG will be using Unreal Engine 5
- Thread starter rrc1594
- Start date
I've been hyped for this project since they started hiring some major talent for it, including Dean Rymer (ex Bioware and SSM dev).. I can't wait.
P.S - I'm guess TC, TI , PlayG and NT will be using it too.

Yeah I had mentioned this in the other thread but there's a very high chance they were just saying UE4 till UE5 actually released.
we've known that for a while
they said we won't see it for a couple years and they're still finishing the game they were working on prior to acquisition
but they're staffing up for the next project in a big way
Didn't Sweeney say something like it would be easy to port UE4 to UE5? I'm sure the barebones of the games has already started. I would think 2023 at the earliest?
I'd imagine they're using UE4 and will just transition over to UE5. Pretty sure someone at epic said the transition should be really smooth
I suppose this means pretty much any dev aiming to release a game on unreal from 2022 onwards will be on Unreal 5.

Since they hired Senior Combat Designer that worked on God of War, I'm assuming 3rd-Person Action RPG
Nice. Would be great if they could fill that void Bioware left behind
Unlikely. They probably mean that they will transfer their next game from UE4 to UE5 as soon as UE5 becomes available, since their next game will probably not launch before 2023.

well that should be obsidian as they're the monster team. InXile is a complete wildcard, though.
If Obsidian and InXile share lots of tech, that could be crazy... old Black Isle teamupppppp
In the past big studios have gotten a hold of UE ahead of public release.
There's no firm confirmation, but I'd be shocked if Hellblade 2 wasn't UE5.
I have really high hopes for InXile. Brian Fargo has an incredible history and we'll finally get to see InXile not shackled to a crowdfunding budget and with plenty of time and resources to follow through on their ideas. Unreal Engine 5 RPGs are gonna look real nice.
They're probably starting with UE4 now & will transition to UE5 early next year thanks to the engine's forward compatibility.
Not super surprising considering most MS teams are already using UE, but nice to know they're getting on the ground floor for UE5
Gonna continue holding out hope that them or Obsidian have acquired the rights to Stormlight Archive or Mistborn for their next game.

While I love those RPGs and will always buy them, for a game that's using Unreal Engine 5, I doubt it. Microsoft want to go big this gen and make games that are going to entice audiences to buy the XSX. A topdown RPG isn't going to compete with the likes of Sony's first party lineup.
InXile are talented devs but they're not exactly known for making AAA RPGs. That's a huge step up like what Sony Bend did in making Days Gone. I'm not even sure they're anywhere close to similar AAA game devs in terms of staff count or size.
it's probably exactly the same as moving to a newer version of UE4
I mean, their previous games were developed on Unity, including the not released yet Wasteland 3. This is a massive jump for the studio.
Playground are already confirmed to be using Unreal Engine for their RPG (Fable)
You are going to hear many Xbox studios using UE5. The only ones that wont really will end up being 343 and Turn 10 (Playground's Forza team as well)
which you would never do in the middle of production, thats already a major hassle and can be pretty damn time consuming (which means its expensive). Expect Playground to stick with UE4 till the release of the RPG and then move after tbh
The new Halo engine was built for Halo. I'd imagine most other studios would want to stick with something more general like unreal.
not if the game has been in development using UE4 any game starting development in 2022 tho then yea I dont see a reason to stick with 4 then unless there are issues with 5 that become apperant later on but i more than highly doubt that
if anything they would want the devs to use UE as they all have been open about how they are able to share techniques and help each other which only speeds up the process and brings everyone up. plus a ton of xbox studios already have experience with UE
