The Coalition,the Xbox studio responsible for the development of the Gears of War series, today announced that on July 20th it will present at the GDC 2021 developer fair a tech demo called Alpha Point,made with the brand new Unreal Engine 5 and performed in real-time on Xbox Series X.

The demo is designed to study and analyze the most advanced features of the Epic Games engine, as explained by the developers themselves:

"The Coalition will present the UE5 technical demo "Alpha Point" on Xbox Series X,created to internally evaluate UE5. The presentation will cover what the team learned during the creation of Nanite assets and their inclusion in a scenario with full real-time lighting via Lumen and Virtual Shadow Maps. Xbox Series Xand S performance and memory usage detections will be covered, as well as results on VFX, Blueprint, material setting, Temporal Super Resolution, and Virtual Texture. The Coalition will also discuss some preliminary results on creating next-generation characters through MetaHuman (UE5's realistic and ultra-detailed character editor, ndt), showing a test with a next-gen character on Xbox Series X. "

The Coalition is considered the best studio in the world for the use of the Unreal Engine, second only to epic's engineers itself, so we have no doubt that it will be a spectacular demo that will show, in addition to those of the engine, also the most advanced capabilities of Xbox Series X. Appointment on July 20th night (the presentation at the GDC is scheduled for 22:20-23:20 Italian time, so we expect it to be broadcast immediately after) to see it in action!
