Elite Dangerous 2 on Unreal Engine 5

Unreal Engine 5 launched officially today!

With major studios embracing the novelty, how long until Frontier Developments do the same as CDProjectRED and switch their own home-brewed Engine to adopt UE5... additional kudos points if FD goes the extra mile and sign up for development support from Epic during this migration as CDProjectRED did!

I'd even bet that by the end of this year Frontier to announce Elite Dangerous 2 getting its development started on Unreal Engine 5!

At this point, I don't know if I hope your're right or not.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because a while back there was this leak about Odyssey (Project Watson) and part of it was a former art designer complaining about how limited the Cobra engine was... a couple years after most of the leaked material was confirmed, now we have Odyssey and Frontier did upgrade their Cobra engine in the process...

This all lead to the performance issues we had at launch persisting up to this day... and this is very much familiar to what CDProjectRED experienced with Cyberpunk 2077. For them, made sense to embrace a more mature and efficient engine and get development support on this migration.

Wondering if this also makes sense for Frontier moving forward...

Don't see Frontier giving up on their own code base, however stranger things have happened.

Nobody expected CDProjectRED to do it just after having upgraded their own engine and releasing a major title based upon it... but they did migrated to UE5 anyways!

If you install SC on a laptop, then put said laptop on your knees, you'll have the whole thing jump soon enough when the GPU heat will go to your leg.

Same with Odyssey, in truth^^

@Susanna , we're also trying to establish in parallel if providing a certain amount of beer to the developers would impact development time and/or quality.

An experiment which has already been done numerous times, I'm sure. Far be it from me, however, to discourage the acquisition of one more data point in the study!
