Blood Message is one of the new productions that has attracted attention with its visuals from the earliest footage. The creators at studio 24 Entertainment have revealed more details about the technologies used. They also confirmed that the game is already being tested on PlayStation 5 Pro. The developers are making use of the full capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 alongside in-house solutions that enhance the realism of the world. The effects should be visible both in combat and during exploration.
Unreal Engine 5 powers the game's realistic world
The creators decided to use Unreal Engine 5 after comparing it with other engines, including Unity. In their view only Epic Games' solution offered the required level of visual quality and cinematic presentation. Blood Message uses Lumen for dynamic global illumination and Nanite, which allows very detailed models to be rendered without visible level-of-detail changes. The developers also use Virtual Shadow Maps to provide more accurate shadows. A strong emphasis was placed on realistic environmental physics. Materials such as brick, leather, fabrics and parchment were scanned from real-world objects and respond to changing lighting conditions. The game will also feature destructible environmental elements, dust suspended in the air and dynamic weather effects. The developers have implemented advanced simulations for fluids, snow and sand. One of the showcased scenes shows a rat running through water, creating realistic waves and splashes. All these elements are intended to increase immersion during gameplay. The studio says the game world will react to player actions in a more natural way.
PS5 Pro already being tested, but developers haven't made all the decisions
24 Entertainment also confirmed the start of tests of the game on the PlayStation 5 Pro. The studio is experimenting with PSSR technology responsible for image upscaling and with the ray tracing capabilities offered by Sony's more powerful console. The developers note, however, that the final scope of these features has not yet been decided. At the same time, the use of full path tracing in the PC version is being analysed. For now it is unclear whether this technology will be applied across the whole game or only in selected sections. Blood Message is being developed for PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. A recently shown eighteen-minute gameplay segment demonstrates that the project is already at an advanced stage of development. If the final version maintains the current level of visuals, it could be one of the most visually impressive games using Unreal Engine 5.
Blood Message looks set to be a technological showcase of Unreal Engine 5's capabilities. The developers have confirmed tests on the PlayStation 5 Pro and the use of the latest graphical techniques, which are intended to deliver exceptionally realistic visuals and game world physics.
