Unreal Engine 5 Lumens Lighting Demo Download

If you like what you see, you can check out some more tech demos powered by Unreal Engine 5. Epic collaborated with Sony to show off the first demo with the engine running on a PlayStation 5. The Gears of War developer also created a short demonstration called Alpha Point, which focuses on more lighting and effects.

During a presentation at GDC 2021, Gears of War developer The Coalition revealed its first technical demo using the latest tools in Unreal Engine 5, including its impressive Lumen lighting system and Nanite, the engine's virtualized geometry system.

The demo, titled Alpha Point, isn't meant to represent any work on an existing game, but rather just the studio's first attempt at forming its working pipeline within the new engine for projects going forward. The demo is brief, with assets similar to the initial Unreal Engine 5 demo from last year. Despite that, it's got some glimpses of striking lighting and incredibly detailed geometry that is becoming a staple of Unreal Engine 5 showings.

The team from Epic Games joined Keighley to discuss the features of the new game engine in a livestream hosted on YouTube. If the live chat and Twitter were any indication, most users were just as surprised as we were to see a PS5 live gameplay demo. Just yesterday, the Summer Game Fest hosted an announcement for a Tony Hawk Pro Skater remaster, and it seemed like other announcements on the channel would be along similar lines.
