Epic just published “The Road to UE6,” outlining its vision for the next generation of Unreal Engine. Epic says AI will be deeply integrated into the development process: “For UE6, we see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need.” According to Epic, UE6 will: >Combine Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) into one ecosystem. >Bring Verse into the main development workflow alongside C++ and Blueprints. >Support larger multiplayer games and more persistent worlds. >Use AI tools to help developers create content faster while staying in control. >Build on UE5 with backward compatibility, making the move to UE6 an evolution rather than a complete reset.
