Here’s what Overwatch 2 could look like in Unreal Engine 5

YouTube’s ‘ARSHER’ has shared a cool video in which he has ported Ovewatch 2’s Château Guillard map in Unreal Engine 5. As such, this video can give us an idea of what Blizzard’s game could look like on Epic’s engine.

Going into more details, ARSHER used Lumen Global Illumination, Nanite and Ray Tracing for reflections. And, at first glance I was like “Okay, this looks worse than Overwatch 2. I can’t believe the actual game looks worse than that“. And boy was I wrong.

Below you can find a video that showcases the original version of the Château Guillard map. And, as we can see, the lighting looks worse than the Unreal Engine 5 fan port. Not only that but the water also looks bad in Overwatch 2. Texture-wise, both versions look identical. This shouldn’t come as a surprise as ARSHER ported the entire map (with its original assets) from Overwatch 2 to Unreal Engine 5.

Anyway, I’m sure most Overwatch 2 fans will find this cool, which is why we’ve decided to share it with you. And come on, it’s been a while since our last UE5 article, don’t you think?

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, I also suggest taking a look at these other fan remakes. For instance, we have these faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3. Then we have this amazing fan remake of STALKER. Let’s also not forget this Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5. There is also this amazing full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9. And lastly, you can find fan remakes of Death Stranding, Fallout 4, ARK: Survival Ascended, Fallout 4, Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion, and Skyrim’s Whiterun. All of them are cool, so make sure to watch them.

Enjoy!
