I really like Unreal Engine 5 showcase movies. Can’t get sufficient of them. To be clear, I don’t even care how playable any of them ever find yourself being, as a result of that is an artwork function, not a video games overview part, and so all I care about is how fairly they give the impression of being, and tonight’s showcase could be very fairly certainly.
This is Airborn, a video made by Airborn Studios, an artwork studio in Berlin who we’ve featured a number of occasions beforehand, together with for his or her unbelievable work on a few of Overwatch’s skins:
After a hibernation section of a few years, we made the decision to revisit the mission that our studio is known as after. Wondering what it could be like if we dive again into that world with new concepts, a unique strategy, a mixture of Airborn veterans and new staff members, and the dedication to make use of the newest know-how to push stylized recreation artwork and keep true to the core pillars of the work that was carried out approach again. And with out additional ado, we proudly current the end result!
When they are saying a “hibernation section”, they aren’t kidding: Airborn as an thought has been kicking round for over 15 years now, with this newest video simply probably the most up to date expression of the concept that gave the studio its title.
It’s necessary to notice right here that this isn’t a recreation pitch within the sense that that is one thing that’s actively making an attempt to be made. Instead—they’ve known as it a “visible prototype” on this case—it’s a approach for artists to have the ability to work on one thing that appears like a online game as a way to showcase their expertise, all of the whereas creating one thing that’s theirs, not the IP of an employer or a consumer.
