Unreal Engine 5.2 Introduces Procedural Content Generation for Fast Creation of Large Game Worlds

[Tsing]

Epic Games has announced that Unreal Engine 5.2 is now available for download. This new version of Epic's next-generation game engine is headlined by two new features, with one being Procedural Content Generation, which remains in early testing as an "experimental" feature but promises to allow developers to create large worlds fast and efficiently as part of its framework, including both in-editor tools and a runtime component. Unreal Engine 5.2 also introduces Substrate, a new feature that, according to a comparison shot of a virtual Rivian EV that Epic Games shared, enables a greater range of surface appearances. Existing Unreal Engine users can download Unreal Engine 5.2 from the Epic Games launcher, while first-time users can find the download link on unrealengine.com.
