Dying Stranding 2’s trailer was arguably one of the vital dramatic bulletins in the course of the Recreation Awards 2022, although it too fell into the class of a “world premiere” that had been leaked a number of occasions earlier than.
However it’s a small element in the direction of the tip that factors to an fascinating collaboration between tech and engines, and will probably be one thing we see extra of sooner or later, because the characters in Dying Stranding 2 will probably be powered by Epic’s new Metahumans expertise.
At 3:25 within the trailer, in the event you look within the backside proper nook, the high-quality print reads “Powered by Metahuman,” which is a brand new product from Epic that works with Unreal Engine V.
The sport can also be being developed utilizing Guerilla Video games personal DECIMA engine, so this collaboration between the 2 is critical, as the present FAQ for Metahuman lists that characters have to be rendered in Unreal Engine, as they’re solely licensed to be used in Unreal.
Hopefully we’ll be capable to be taught extra of the small print on this relationship quickly, and if a particular settlement has been reached on this case, or if that is one thing we’ll see extra typically throughout completely different engines and studios.
