Black State feature-2

Black State looks unbelievably beautiful in its latest gameplay video


NVIDIA has shared a video, showcasing 8 minutes of brand new gameplay footage from Black State with Ray Tracing. Black State is powered by Unreal Engine 5, and it will have ray-traced reflections on PC.

Alongside the RT, Black State will support NVIDIA DLSS 3 and Reflex. As such, RTX owners will be able to take advantage of DLSS 3 Frame Generation when the game comes out.

It’s also obvious that the game takes advantage of UE5’s Lumen. The lighting looks top-notch. And this is why I’ve said that I’ve been spoiled by Lumen. Yes, it’s not as good and accurate as RTGI. However, it’s pretty close to it. This of course shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Lumen is a form of RT. And that’s why a lot of UE5 are so demanding.

Black State is a third-person action adventure game that appears to be heavily inspired by Meta Gear Solid and The Matrix. For an indie title, it pushes some truly incredible graphics. I mean, look at the gameplay video. It looks amazing.

One of the big features of the game will be its portal doors. This will make the gameplay exciting and always changing. Or at least that’s what the devs claim. Every time you open a door, you can find yourself in a new adventure, which makes the game thrilling and a bit dangerous. You can also go back through the same door, giving you control over where you explore.

I personally like everything I see in this game. Since it’s coming from a small team, I expect it to be a bit rough around the edges. Still, Black State proves how beneficial UE5 can be. A few years ago, it would have been impossible for small teams to create a game that looks this good. With UE5, though, it’s possible to create games that can look as good as triple-A titles.

There is currently no ETA on when Black State will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
