Previously, Epic Games launched two different demos for Unreal Engine 5, including the Valley of the Ancient demo for PS5 and the Matrix Awakens demo that was launched for next-gen consoles and later for PC.
Some of the modders have already created interesting new demos based on Matrix Awakens, bringing favorite superheroes such as Spider-Man and Batman to Unreal Engine 5.
However, the demo you are about to witness from Quixel is a brand new project built from the ground up.
Quixel Shows You How Realistic Environments Could Be in Unreal Engine 5
The future of gaming with Unreal Engine 5 looks unbelievable! Quixel has shared some in-engine footage from an Unreal Engine 5 demo, recreating various environment types from lush forests to creepy dungeons, to post-apocalyptic roads.
This is definitely a demo and not optimized enough for becoming a playable thing, but still, this is amazing how far developers can push the boundaries to make games closer to real life.
For crafting this beautiful demo, Quixel has benefited from its Megascans project as well. If you are a developer, you can use the Megascans for trees right now, though it's still a work-in-progress feature.
