Epic has revealed the latest version of its game engine with Unreal Engine 6 and detailed what game will debut it. Find out the Unreal Engine 6 release date and games confirmed to be using the engine.
While developers are still getting to grips with Unreal Engine 5 years after its deployment, Epic is already going full steam ahead with the latest iteration of its gaming engine.
The first glimpse of Unreal Engine 6 came as the Rocket League Championship Series Paris Major 2026, where Epic confirmed the esports favourite will be one of the first games to move over to the new engine.
With a new era of Unreal Engine seemingly upon us, GameWatcher takes a look at what’s in store for Unreal Engine 6.
Unreal Engine 6 Release Date
We don’t yet have an Unreal Engine 6 release date. At this stage, details are thin on the ground, but a tech demo of Rocket League showcased a visual sense of what to expect.
It would make sense if Unreal Engine 6 were aiming to deploy around the time of the next console generation, much like Epic did for Unreal Engine 5 and this generation.
