00:10Sleep, Izzy, the plowing plonker.

00:38Break me pearlies on this blasted pit-ridden tract.

00:53Where's Veard out of the Irood?

00:56Aye, the devil's out of here!

00:59This rotten trap!

01:03Smack her!

01:10The brother killed us.

01:13The devil's out of here!

01:19The devil's out of here, and the devil's out of here!

01:23The devil's out of here!

01:35Oh, my God.

02:05Salt.

02:19Almost had me fooled, Fruin.

02:35Thank you, thank you everyone, and welcome to the state of Unreal at Unreal Fest Orlando.

03:05We're here to show you what's next with Unreal Engine and so much more.

03:10We are thrilled that you're able to join us.

03:14But first things first, I'm here with Sebastian and Kai Tech from CD Projekt Red.

03:20We have a lot to talk about.

03:22Hey, guys.

03:23Hey.

03:24Thank you, Wyatt.

03:29Thank you, Wyatt, and hello, everyone.

03:31With The Witcher 4, we're stepping things up.

03:33And to do that, we needed the right partner, one that truly understands that great open

03:38world games are all about art and technology coming together.

03:42Yeah.

03:43And look, our goals are completely aligned here.

03:46And around the launch of UE5, your awesome team at CD Projekt Red announced a collaboration

03:51to make open world development in Unreal even better.

03:55And it's an opportunity we just couldn't pass it up.

03:58So we've been working on a technical demo together to achieve just that.

04:02I think we should take a look at it.

04:04You guys ready?

04:05Born ready.

04:06Kai Tech is going to play the build for us.

04:08Sure.

04:09Let's do it.

04:10This is a technological showcase set in the world of The Witcher 4.

04:21What you just saw and are going to see now is running on a standard PlayStation 5 at 60

04:28FPS with ray tracing.

04:30So in the game, you'll be playing as Ciri, a professional monster slayer, a Witcher.

04:36She explores the world and hunts down monster for coin.

04:40The region we are in is called Kovir and you'll get to explore it in the game.

04:46Right now, Ciri is investigating the monster and after gathering new clues, she is heading

04:50back to a nearby village.

04:58Alright everyone, meet Kelpie!

05:02Let weeds be weeds, Kelpie!

05:06So just like Geralthead Roach, Ciri has her own loyal companion.

05:13We return to town.

05:15These two characters need to feel like one.

05:17Since you're going to explore the world on horseback, riding these two feel seamless.

05:20Natural.

05:21And just fun.

05:22Yeah.

05:23And to support that, we're introducing multi-character motion matching in Unreal.

05:28So Ciri and Kelpie, they're perfectly synchronized when mounting from any angle and speed.

05:34And we also support root motion movement on Kelpie.

05:38So controlling her feels realistic and grounded.

05:43And there are also some really nice improvements to our Unreal Chaos Flesh Solver and these machine

05:47learn deformations.

05:48So you've got realistic muscles moving and stretching under Kelpie's skin without compromising

05:53the performance there.

05:54So let's leave Ciri behind for a second and talk about the world itself.

06:08So much of the Witcher world is natural, organic.

06:11Especially Kovir with its dense forest and wild nature.

06:15Yeah, and wild nature is hard.

06:18And with Nanite Geometry, we've freed artists from so many of their old constraints.

06:22But we don't want to rest until everything we do in Unreal has that same spirit of freedom.

06:27There's always more work to do.

06:28And foliage is a huge piece of that puzzle.

06:31So we are excited to introduce Nanite Foliage.

06:37And in order to achieve gorgeous foliage density everywhere, while still being memory efficient,

06:43fast to render, we believe that a new idea was needed.

06:46So instead of the same card approach we've been using for the past 20 years, artists should

06:51be free to take a Nanite approach to foliage, modeling every single leaf and pine needle.

06:58And the old LOD tricks of the past, they needed a complete rethink.

07:02And in their place, it's a new adaptive voxel representation in Nanite.

07:07It's volumetric, it's fully 3D, it is super fast to render.

07:12And these dense clusters of triangles turn into these cubes, which at a distance, they're

07:16no larger than a pixel.

07:17And they react to the changing light of our dynamic sun and our shadows, and they allow

07:21artists to render whatever amount of foliage is needed to achieve their vision without compromise.

07:28And no compromise means how ambitious we are when it comes to bringing our vision to life

07:34with incredible visuals.

07:36But more than that, together with Epic, we created fast a whale throughout the world.

07:40We can now bring in more content more quickly for the smoothest possible experience as we

07:46fly down to catch up with Ciri.

08:02Welcome to Valgrist.

08:04So Valgrist is a port town, a hub for fishing, freight and mining.

08:08It's one of those places where you can meet shady characters or overhear gossip from other

08:13lands.

08:14It's also where Ciri took on her current contract.

08:18Hi Tech, let's leave Kelpie here and explore the marketplace and food.

08:26I'm so excited we can finally show you some of this stuff.

08:30Let's see what Valgrist has to offer.

08:58Guys, notice how responsive the world is.

09:04Character actions directly affect what happens around you, sometimes even setting off chain

09:08reactions.

09:09Everything is working together.

09:19Or look at this poor gentleman being taught how to fly by an angry innkeeper.

09:24That's what happens when you cheat at Gwen.

09:31Okay, so this is the guy who gave the street quest his own.

09:45Like you probably suspect he has his own agenda in all of this.

09:52Get your ass up.

09:59A typical day's toil.

10:00Who in?

10:01Ah, witcheress.

10:04What news of my wagons?

10:06No eternity is taking that damn salt to arrive.

10:09I found them.

10:10And, well, suffice to say, they'll not reach you.

10:16As for the salt, I found not one speck.

10:21I presume this comes as no surprise to you.

10:26No, no.

10:28Kabir's smuggling trade is of no concern to me.

10:31Shush, shush, shush.

10:32The manticore that flattened your cart and devoured your men?

10:38Quite the opposite.

10:40Manticore?

10:41No.

10:42No.

10:43No.

10:44Them winged hellspawn dwell in the arse end of Creighton.

10:47Not here.

10:48While Ciri decides what to do about that merchant, let's take a look at the character technology

10:52that powers this marketplace.

10:54Why don't we listen in on these fishmongers?

10:56They're selling their wares, chatting up customers.

10:59And there is tons of peck to play here.

11:16Even in this simple market stall.

11:18MetaHuman tools, improved Unreal smart objects, chaos cloth, and more.

11:23Yeah, and all of this exists to make sure that the gap in quality between Ciri and NPCs

11:28is as small as possible.

11:31Yeah, and closing that gap, it's not just about fidelity, right?

11:34But also authenticity.

11:36They should react to changes in the world around them.

11:39But the prisoner in Pillar isn't exciting enough for Wildress.

11:45Let's grab everyone's attention with the circus.

11:48But the great performance deserves a huge crowd, though.

11:59Let's crank it up.

12:01So you are seeing tons of optimizations here to many of Unreal systems, including an entirely

12:16new Unreal animation framework, allowing us to fit easily in our 60 FPS budget, not just

12:22in rendering, but also with room to spare on the game thread.

12:27Over 300 animated skeletal mesh agents all going about their business.

12:32And the whole point, it's to leave breathing room for developers like you to introduce the

12:37gameplay and the systems that your players expect, empowering you to make your worlds come

12:42to life without Unreal standing in your way.

12:45You are right.

12:46That's the open-world RPG that we are making.

12:49But before we wrap up, how about one final check-in with Ciri?

13:00We are making this game to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game ever.

13:05And we are making this a reality thanks to our work on Unreal with the team at Epic.

13:12I think what we are doing together is going to bring in a new generation of open-world RPGs.

13:17And I'm so proud of what we accomplished so far.

13:21We are too.

13:24So we're almost done.

13:25But before we go, here's a small gift for all Witcher fans.

13:32A first look at Lan Exeter.

13:42It's all amazing!

13:46Onward Kathryn.

13:48We're working.

13:52We're working!

13:53I am truly a player first.

13:55I am not being a player.

14:00Just two Wonderful Yeah of the video…

14:03A first peek-in door, but one Seaw Dew account…

14:05I am a field lover, I remember you and whoever, to visit.

14:08Did it eventually Sjoinора, it's so precise.

14:09It's toxic.
