Housemarque's next AAA game will be built on Unreal Engine 5 - via @Zuby_Tech
- Thread starter Bryank75
- Start date
Their previous game did use Unreal Engine and in they job offers publicly posted on their website they ask for expertise on Unreal Engine.
So obviously yes, their next game will use Unreal Engine. No need to be an insider to see it.

He probably saw job listings for UE5 experience.
Housemarque has been using Unreal Engine for around 10 years, considering Matterfall from 2017 was their first title in this engine and then they followed up with Returnal.
It would be weird if it they were to drop Unreal Engine for their next title, and that would actually be news.

Hi. Game dev here.
UE5 is rapidly becoming more standardized in the industry. Almost everyone is using it now, especially AAA studios, because they don't have to do any of their own maintenance on their own engine. Therefore these companies are saving the cost of developer maintenance. The amount of people also learning UE5 has rapidly accelerated, especially after the Unity Runtime fee controversy last year. And having a large pool of potential candidates for hire who know UE is something companies would not want to miss out on. Teaching new people an inhouse engine they have to get familiar with in a rapid dev cycle is not productively reliable, nor is it a good use of employee resources. Also the fact that UE has built-in features that pretty much give no hassle in terms of development and shipping games, it's really easy to get into and start making games.

Yeah, it's a funny way to phrase it... especially when so many of us are here thirsty for new games from first party.
I was looking through the current sales on PSN and I can hardly find anything I really want to play now.

Waiting for a bit of a sale. If I could get it for around 40 or 50, I'd definitely be in.
I am considering Robocop for now and then Space Marine 2 around Christmas...
I think they'll both be fun.
It was same situation with UE3 during PS360 era. It's more of a transition period for most developers.
They are done with Arcade shooter games for good and I can't blame them.
Shame, they done it so well. Even if they managed a small team to teach them there ways.
In my opinion Playstation could do with some small titles like Resogun to fill up the time between the bigger games. I always enjoyed them
I didnt know it was unreal engine. Yes felt smooth, fast, stable and plenty shooting mechanics all done well
They said they are done with that genre as they don't see it as economically feasible. As the sales are weak
