Lord of the Rings Trilogy Game Concept Built In Unreal Engine 5
A talented developer has used Unreal Engine 5 to create an epic Lord of the Rings video game concept. J.R.R. Tolkien's iconic novel trilogy, which was transformed into three film blockbusters by director Peter Jackson, has become an essential staple of the fantasy genre. Many video games strive to turn Tolkien's work into an interactive medium, like the recently delayed Lord of the Rings: Gollum, and now one dedicated group of fans has brought Middle-earth to life in all its glory usingUnreal Engine 5.
Unreal Engine 5 is the latest version of Epic Games' popular game creation engine, which was first released in 1998. Released back in April, UE5 is available for free use by developers based on a royalty payment model. This means that creators are free to build within the game engine as they please, only paying royalties to Epic Games if their project turns a profit. Since its launch Unreal Engine 5 has been used to bring a number of breathtaking projects to life like a concept trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, an Unreal Engine 5 remake of God of War and more.
