Unreal Engine 4 fans, here is something for you today. Sparkx Sylux, JamyzGenius and Sadkitty have shared videos, showing environments from The Witcher 3, Star Wars: KOTOR 2 and Everquest being recreated in Unreal Engine 4.
Instead of posting three different stories, we’ve decided to include these new recreations in one. As such, those who hate the Unreal Engine 4 recreations won’t see the website getting flooded with such articles. Hooray.
Now I’ve never been a big fan of Everquest, so I don’t know how faithful to the original material this recreation is. However, and since I still remember The Witcher 3’s environments, I can say that the Witcher 3 hut recreation is really close to the real thing. The same can be said about KOTOR 2’s Observatory Deck.
Now while obviously these videos are just showcases and nothing more, it would have been great if we could actually run and play them. Nevertheless, it’s really cool witnessing artists experimenting with Epic’s engine. By recreating these well known games, they get more exposure and fans get to see what an updated – or a completely different – version of their favourite games can look like. At least in my opinion.
Enjoy the videos!

The Everquest one looks nothing like Everquest, it looks more like Skyrim with the Kelethin music playing in the background.
Was trying to work out what area it could be, Commonlands? It’s been a while but I expected to see Lady Vox within that area covered with snow.
Id go with Halas/Everfrost area just because of the nordic looking houses.
KOTOR 1 actually has a remake pretty far in development called Apeiron in Unreal Engine 4. The devs stream development on Twitch. Can easily find their twitter and page.
booo the engine’s movement is awful.
Is that sarcasm? 🙂 It was the most popular one some years ago, then Epic went down the crapper with all their console shenanigans.
But i agree. Best looking (not the most realistic, but the most beautiful) engine nowadays.
I want that Witcher one as a SteamVR Home environment.
John got a massive fetish for unreal 4, not sure why…
UE4 is great but I would prefer the red engine version.
I wouldn’t buy it unless they did it themselves to Red 3.
UE has always been the most popular engine, literally always since 1999 ignoring Source and goldsrc. The only time it ever wasn’t was the day it took people to realize no matter how amazing CryEngine is, that it doesn’t run well.
