You didn’t really think we’d end 2021 without showing you another game in Unreal Engine 5. That’s why we’re presenting you with a fresh video by environmental artist Christian Gomm today. He actually works for Myrkur Games, which is currently working on a new action adventure called Echoes of the End sit.
To work on his photogrammetry workflow, Gomm uses an Unreal Engine 5 version of the small town of Flusswald, which is a mixture of own photoscan assets and materials, megascans and own substance materials

Before you scroll through the comments disappointed, please remember that YouTube compresses the videos on the one hand and Gomm’s PC is not a NASA computer on the other, so he can only provide a stable frame rate at 1080p. Nonetheless, we would like the next Elder Scrolls to come close to this graphic quality.
If you want to look at some high-resolution screenshots and are generally interested in Gomm’s work, it is best to take a look at his Artstation. By the way: For this representation the artist only needed a few days, as he explains:
Most of the area was created in a few days. I then slowly expanded them by creating new photo scans including lots of tree stumps and trunks, all but one stone surfaces, some bark materials, and pieces of foliage. Almost all objects in the scene have activated nanites and have a polygon count of 100,000 to 15 million triangles.
How big the differences can be between the original and an Unreal Engine 5 version, colleague Nils has already shown on the basis of another project that hits the same line:

What about the NextGen upgrade of the Skyrim Special and Anniversary Editions?
Yes, there should be a free NextGen upgrade, which unfortunately we haven’t seen yet. Because apart from the confirmation that there should be a graphical upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S, the information situation is very thin. As breathtaking as the Unreal Engine 5 version from the video, the upgrade shouldn’t be noticeable.
After all, Skyrim is still ten years old and built on outdated technology. That is why colleague Peter also demands that the next Elder Scrolls be built on a new engineeringe:

The Elder Scrolls 6 – Without a next-gen engine, without me!
How do you like the scenes presented above in Unreal Engine 5? Have you already done some graphic experiments in the graphics engine yourself? What do you think The Elder Scrolls 6 should look like? Let us know in the comments.
