Here’s a Superman game built in The Matrix Unreal 5 demo

pcgamesn.com:

A developer has made their own Superman game out of the Unreal 5 demo used for The Matrix Awakens, and they’re looking to expand it into a proper superhero game – based on a demo partly created by ex-developers of Factor 5, the studio behind Star Wars: Rogue Squadron… and a cancelled Superman game.

While the Fortnite x Matrix collab was smaller than expected, The Matrix Awakens was an impressive VR game demo built in Unreal Engine 5. The core of this demo is the detailed cityscape, and now Unreal 5 is freely available, Epic has made this ‘City Sample‘ available to budding developers to play about with.

Developer Volod from Amber Studio – which works with Epic Games – used this demo as the foundation for their own Superman game, albeit without the DC Comics licence itself. Volod says that they “cooked my own city grid in Houdini, using Epic’s project files and VEX scripting” and has apparently been “making city-building tools for years on film/commercial VFX work” so they know what they’re doing.

Then Volod plopped a generic character in and gave them Superman-like powers. The developer first suggested that if they could “find a fun and indie budget-sized gameplay loop, it might become something more”, and now says that they will attempt to turn it into a full game.
