YouTube’s ‘M0riarti’ has shared a video, showcasing Yantar from the first STALKER game in Unreal Engine 5. This video can give us an idea of what a modern-day remaster of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. could look like. So, be sure to check it out.

In order to recreate this location, the modder used a lot of high-resolution textures. Moreover, M0riarti took advantage of UE5’s Lumen. As such, everything in this video looks top-notch.

To be honest, I’d really love to see such a remaster of the first STALKER in UE5. We do know that STALKER 2 will be using Unreal Engine 5. So, it would be cool if GSC GameWorld decided to remaster/remake this classic FPS in UE5. That is of course after the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

For those unaware, some modders are trying to bring the first STALKER in UE5. However, this unofficial attempt is nowhere close to the visuals displayed here.

Back in March 2023, we shared another fan remake video of STALKER in UE5. So, if you are a die-hard STALKER fan, I highly recommend watching it too.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a fan remaster of Unreal Gold in UE5. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. Oh, and there is a fan remake of Tomb Raider The Last Revelation, featuring Angelina Jolie and Christoph Walz. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Solitude, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. There is also this Studio Ghibli stylized teaser for Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5. So, lots of UE5 fan remakes, right? Well, since they’re all really cool, we suggest giving them a watch.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
