Last month, we shared a video showcasing Counter-Strike’s iconic map, Dust2, in Unreal Engine 5. And today, we are happy to share a new video from this map, packing over six minutes of in-engine footage from it.
Created by YouTube’s ‘Nic’, this map goes for a more realistic look to that iconic CS map. It also features a bodycam viewpoint similar to the one used in Unrecord. Keep also in mind that this map was created by a single person. Thus, for a one-man project, it looks really cool.
From what we know, Nic does not plan to release this project to the public. So no, unfortunately, you won’t be able to play this fan recreation of Dust2 in Unreal Engine 5. Basically, like most other UE5 fan remakes/remasters, it was created for portfolio purposes.
However, Nic claims that he’s currently working on a game that will be based on what he has learned so far from this project. That’s a bold move. To be honest, though, it would make more sense for Nic to keep remaking/remastering other games in UE5. This could have potentially landed him a job with a triple-A studio.
Anyway, 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. Last week, we also shared a fan remaster of World of Warcraft in UE5. And lastly, you can find fan remakes of Death Stranding, Final Fantasy 9, 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 the following video and stay tuned for more!
