Unreal Engine 5.5 preview was just announced at Unreal Fest Seattle 2024 and it is packed with exciting new features. Unfortunately there are no release notes or announcement blog available right now, so our coverage is entirely in the video below.
Unreal Engine 5.5 preview is available for download today on the Epic Game Launcher and obviously is not meant for production use. The most exciting new feature, Mega Lights (or is it MegaLights?) is considered experimental. Other features like the improved animation tools are considered more ready for prime time (although you still shouldn’t consider even thinking about using a preview release for production!).
