Epic Games has officially unveiled the first details of Unreal Engine 6.

Main changes:

• Unreal Engine 6 will combine Unreal Engine 5 and Unreal Editor for Fortnite into a single platform.

• The new programming language Verse will become the basis of development and will eventually replace the current approach with C++ and Blueprints.

• There will be a new gaming framework Scene Graph for creating large-scale online worlds.

• Epic is working on a system to automatically distribute load across multiple servers so developers can create huge persistent worlds without complex networking code.

• Content will become portable between games and ecosystems through open standards.

• As a first example, Epic plans to make Fortnite cosmetics available for use in other games.

• The engine will have built-in support for AI tools and the MCP protocol with integrations of Claude, Gemini, Codex and other models to speed up development.

• UE6 will remain compatible with UE5 projects and offer migration tools.
