There’s a lot going on in gaming this week: Summer Game Fest, an Xbox showcase, and a little console launch from Nintendo. But before it all begins, Fortnite maker Epic Games is hosting its annual State of Unreal event.
Last year, Epic spread a lot of news across two events in San Francisco and Seattle. This year, the focus will be on a keynote in Orlando. While we don’t know exactly what will be shown, you can expect the latest on the company’s major products: Fortnite, the Unreal Engine, and the Epic Game Store. And given Fortnite’s recent return to iPhones, there will probably be some discussion of app stores, as well.
Outside of that, Epic has released a list of partners that will be involved. They include Disney — which invested $1.5 billion in Epic last year with the goal of building a “new persistent universe” — and Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red. If nothing else, hopefully we’ll at least get some cool-looking tech demos for UE5.
If you want to watch live, the keynote takes place on June 3rd at 9:30AM ET and will be streaming on both Twitch and YouTube.
