    Sounds like it’s going to be UE6: Fortnite.

    Hopefully Godot can make more improvements by the time of UE6’s release.

      I hope more and more indie will start taking Unity space away and turn to Godot,: foolish CEO can destroy the indie alternative to AAA status equo ( Sony, Microsoft, and Epic as their servant). But once on Godot, the engine is in fully in the hands of the people.

    Wait. UE is an engine. A game should use an engine, not the other way around. What am I missing here?

      I parse the headline as meaning two products, “Unreal Editor 5” and “Unreal Editor for Fortnight” are being merged into “Unreal Engine 6”

    I know fortnite is a behemoth in gaming and makes about 10 billion gazillion dollars, but it seems like they are putting all their eggs in that basket without any plans for afterward. Every game falls out of style, and fortnite will too eventually. Maybe they’re thinking about this internally but it just seems like they are putting themselves in a corner if they don’t adequately support UE for non-fortnite use cases.

      They see Epic Game Store as constant revitalization, together with free game: the idea is, indie developers come to EGS to have their recognition (like among us, rocket league, lethal company and many other had); once in the EGS will bombard the customs with fortnite deals… in some cases even cloning successful indie game mechanics in fortnite (it did happen with among us). Basically they want to brute force the indie gaming industry in fortnite: the “metaverse” money they all see in roblox (Facebook, google etc.)

      Welcome to American corporate status quo. Short term profits are all that matters. Evidence of unsustainable patterns are ignored because the shareholders demand it.

      This is better for Fortnite falling out of favour

      Now they don’t need two teams working on two engines so when it does fail you aren’t fragmented

      But I don’t see the reason for UE6 atm

    Still waiting for UE5 Rocket League, but now UE6 is on the way. Guess we’ll have to hold off even longer now.

    Were gonna be on UE3 Rocket League forever at this point.
