This article highlights the most interesting Unreal Engine 5 projects of 2024, showcasing the engine's versatility and capabilities beyond gaming.
The Unreal Engine 5 is shaping the future of gaming in 2025. But UE is also opening new creative possibilities and workflows in VFX , motion graphics, 3D visualisation and more.
As we approach the end of the year, we decided to round up some of the highlights of 2024: not necessarily the best Unreal Engine projects of the year, but the most interesting: projects that show the range of what Unreal Engine can be used for thanks of its photoreal ray tracing, Niagara particles and its virtual camera system. We've aimed to cover as broad a range of uses as possible, from video games to experimental visualisation projects.In the meantime, here's a look back at some of the Unreal Engine 5 projects we enjoyed over the past year.In our review, we described it as a gloriously gloomy use of Unreal. Set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, the game adopts a grim look with a colour palette that could best be described as rust and concrete. The vegetation is impressively realistic, the weather is filthy, with violent storms, and the environment is a character in its own right – and it's all strangely believable.The beauty of the game is in how its blends convincing 1970s period detail with realistic water and vapour physics to make the isolated North Sea oil rig setting believable. Unreal Engine 5's virtualized geometry system, Nanite, was key to achieving that level of detail, while Lumen allowed real-time iteration for lighting. Everything looks wet, but there's incredible detail in that wetness: with rust, paint and cigarette butts in the water and variation in the level of moisture in the air. It makes the harsh, grainy weather feel real.– simply because he's always wanted Splatoon mechanics in dungeons'. Asher Zhu quit working on Fortnite at Epic Games to to direct Duck Shake Games and work with the green, gunky stuff, and the project is oozing along nicely. It's a very specific goal, but then that kind of determination can pay off. I already like the look of the mechanic
