Xenogears fans, get ready for a treat. YouTube’s Vitor Maccari has shared a video, showcasing what a HD-2D remake of Xenogears would look like in Unreal Engine 5. This concept video looks absolutely incredible, and it’s on par with the HD-2D remake that Square Enix has shared these past couple of years.
To create this concept video, the 3D artist used Maya, Zbrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Megascan Textures, and SpeedTree. The entire scene was rendered in Unreal Engine 5. And man, it does look incredible as the artist also used the original 2D sprites of Xenogears.
In this video, we get to see the main protagonist exploring some environments. And, since this is a concept video, it focuses on those areas. So, don’t expect any fighting or interactions with the NPCs.
From what we know, Square Enix does not currently plan to HD-2D remake Xenogears. And… well… that’s a shame because this HD-2D concept video looks amazing.
Anyway, in case you’re wondering, Maccari does not plan to release this project to the public. So, no. You won’t be able to experience this fan project on your PC system.
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.
