Fan-made video of how Alien: Isolation would look like in Unreal Engine 5

A new unofficial trailer has been released in which we can see what Alien: Isolation would look like in Unreal Engine 5. The original survival-horror game was released in 2014 by developer The Creative Assembly, and has been building up a fanbase ever since.

The past few months have been filled with fan-made projects in Unreal Engine 5. Epic Games' new iteration of its popular engine boasts considerable power, with advanced physics, lighting systems and more. Gaming fans got a glimpse of this new engine late last year via The Matrix Awakens demo showcasing a city as if it were an open-world game. Seeing Alien: Isolation in Unreal Engine 5 serves to imagine what a remake or sequel would be like running on that powerful engine.

We've seen exciting UE5 capabilities from smaller sources as well, as there have been countless demos and fan-made animations that have used the platform to recreate and reimagine classic games. We have previously seen videos showing what GTA: Vice City would look like in Unreal Engine 5. Other games like Metal Gear Solid and Skyrim have also been re-imagined in the engine. Now we can see Alien Isolation in Unreal Engine 5, from YouTube channel ENFANT TERRIBLE.

The video focuses mainly on the environments of this hypothetical game, showing areas such as the cryo-screen room, the medical bay and MOTHER's main computer area. As expected, the clip ends by showing footage of what the Xenomorphs would look like in Unreal Engine 5.

The video was made by several artists, other tools used in addition to Unreal engine 5:

3ds Max, Lumberyard, Substance 3D Painter, Quixel Suite, After Effects, Photoshop, Unreal Engine 4, Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Houdini, Substance 3D Painter, Zbrush, Marvelous Designer, Mixer, Arnold, Nuke, Redshift, Blender, Cinema 4D, Blackmagic Design Fusion, DaVinci Resolve.
