The unreal engine of SoT is doomed?

    My knowledge is that they HEAVILY customized the ue4 for their game, they can't upgrade to more recent (4.8) he build, so they can't implement rtx and other new technologies. How they gonna keep the game technically upgraded?

    @alucard3135 Ahoy matey!

    Not sure how you drew these conclusions but the team at Rare are very adept at upgrading and moving between engines so don't be too sure about that! The last engine upgrade I remember allowed them to expand on the in-game physics engine so the things you desire are too far off the table.

    @musicmee cool. Thanks for the info. I was just wondering since SoT is a GaaS one would imagine at some point in its lifespan the game should move on a more fresh engine (ue5? Or even 4.8) so I was worried it would be difficult for them. Anyway cheers

    For the sake of compatibility with older hardware I don't expect RTX to be worth their time implementing. Don't get me wrong it would be super cool and add far more beauty to this game, but I think the lighting is decent enough and I would prefer their team to work on content over that.
