      If you would have known how challenging upgrading to Unreal Engine 5 would be, would you still have done it?

      Oh boy, I think you're gonna get a different answer depending on who you ask at the studio, honestly.

      I think there's been a lot of good gains from Unreal Engine 5.

      but also some downsides with it, both from like what the game can do, but also what we can do with the game, so to speak.

      I think overall it's been my own personal belief is I think it's a good thing to update because Epic are so good at like

      maintaining the work that they do it's been good for us historically to like keep the engine updated and keep being on like sort of the latest version of the engine um just because we get so many good tools and so many good like opportunities to improve the game so i think in the long run it will be worth it but there's been a lot of friction and and like like i said i think you'll get a different answer from different people in the studio who you ask i think if you wait like a little bit more maybe more people would be more prone to say it was worth the effort but

      We're still knee deep in it, so it's, you know, that's sort of how it is.
