The UE5 engine surprises us with the detail of the faces in The Callisto Protocol

It seems that The Game Awards account for the year's awards ceremony has been preparing for some time to activate its account, and today we see an exclusive image with a tweet comparing a real face with a face drawn in the game The Callisto Protocol by actor Josh Duhamel, which was designed with Unreal Engine 5.

In fact, I won't be exaggerating if I say that I wouldn't have known which one was real if it weren't for the explanation attached to the image below. The comments mentioned the same thing, and some of them said: "It's the same photo!" Marvel at the graphical power and facial details of The Callisto Protocol. It seems that Unreal Engine 5 is already delivering the long-awaited graphical leap from a few years ago.

The biggest change to the aforementioned engine was the presence of more than one form of lighting, which allows developers to do whatever they want from this perspective, which is what many consider the biggest technical leap between game graphics engines during the current and previous generations. It is worth remembering that many designs have come from players using Epic Games' new graphics engine, which you can see here, as players have started creating various concept videos for remake titles that they want to return to.

It's worth noting that Glen A. Schofield, studio head of Striking Distance, developer of The Callisto Protocol, has said this explicitly. There will be no exclusion of core, essential content to make it into the paid season pass, which will contain cosmetic items and additional content that hasn't been worked on yet, but they are planning to add more of that content next year.

To be clear, we’re not holding anything back from the main game for the season pass. We haven’t even started working on that content yet. This is new stuff that we’ll be working on in the new year. Fans have been asking for EVEN MORE kills, so we’re making that a priority for next year.
