Job Listing Suggests Platinum's Next Action Game Based On Unreal Engine 5

PlatinumGames is hiring developers specifically with Unreal Engine 5 experience, suggesting the engine will be involved in a future project.

tech4gamers.com

Tech4Gamers has found a job listing for an Environment Artist that suggests PlatinumGames is making the switch to Unreal Engine 5 for its next project.

Why it matters: PlatinumGames typically uses its own in-house technology when working on titles. Therefore, this shift would be a huge departure from the norms.

In the "Necessary Skills and Experience" section of the job listing, PlatinumGames explicitly asks for experience with Unreal Engine 5. This requirement strongly suggests that the team will use this engine for the project.

Elsewhere, the job listing implies this project is aiming for "photorealistic graphics" since this is also one of the skills PlatinumGames is looking for in candidates.

Good to know thank you.

 

[The_hunter]

Noo, the Platinum engine is actually good.

 

[Signalis]

That means I'll have to skip their next game.

 

[Robb]

Meh. Give me Astral Chain 2 or Bayonetta 4.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They finally dropped that garbage engine.

 

[Embearded]

I never liked their engine but let's hope they put in some effort with UE5.

 

[Zathalus]

Hopefully it's 5.6+ and they actually put effort in.
