In the latest development update, the team showcased several visual upgrades powered by Unreal Engine 5. The focus is on stable global lighting, more realistic material response, and preserved detail in large-scale environments.
Technical Highlights
- Real-time lighting and shadows: Better consistency across indoor and outdoor transitions
- Dynamic weather system: Rain, fog, and wind alter atmosphere and visibility
- High-fidelity character materials: Richer rendering of skin, cloth, and metal surfaces
The team noted that performance optimization remains a top priority to ensure stable play across different hardware tiers.
