Whenever a new generation of consoles is launched, we are dazzled by the graphic evolution, which becomes more and more realistic. Much of the merit of these graphics is due to the graphics engines used in the construction of the projects.

When it comes to graphics engines, Unreal Engine, Epic Games’ platform, is one of the darlings of developers and its 5.0 version has arrived to completely revolutionize the industry. Recently, the platform received an update to version 5.1, which brought even more features and improvements and proof of this you can see below.

Since Unreal Engine 5 was announced, several developers have already revealed that they are working on projects based on the new graphics engine, including the new game in The Witcher franchise and other projects from CD Projekt Red.

Recently, Fortnite was updated with the latest features brought by Unreal Engine 5.1, which left many players impressed, even though the game uses a more cartoonish look, which does not really demonstrate the true potential of the platform.

This week, MAWI United, who developed the stunning Horned Forest Biome demo, recently released a new demo built on Unreal Engine 5.1, the Redwood Nanite Forest demo, which features a square kilometer of fully procedurally generated forest comprised of billions of Nanite triangles for trees, plants, rocks, debris and more.

The Redwood Nanite Forest demo can be downloaded here and here. As the demo uses experimental technology, a powerful system is required to run properly, requiring at a minimum an RTX 2080 GPU for 1080p resolution and an RTX 3080 GPU for 4K resolution.

It is worth mentioning that Nanite is just one of the many features present in Unreal Engine 5, which shows how powerful this tool is and how it can provide us with games with incredible visuals.

So, what did you think of this new demo? Will we see games of this quality soon?
