Epic details AI-powered Unreal Engine development and UE6 preview plans
At Unreal Fest Shanghai, Epic Games said AI helped it build a new Epic Games Store client roughly 10 times faster than manual development, while some internal teams reported fourfold efficiency gains and others reported 50% gains. Epic also said it is providing Unreal Engine source code, proprietary content, documentation and reinforcement-learning examples to four leading US and five leading Chinese model vendors, and plans to preview UE6 at the end of next year. An on-site disclosure said China accounts for nearly 20% of Unreal Engine’s global monthly active users; these performance and partnership claims came from Epic executives in a single republished interview and were not independently verified.
Epic says AI is already materially speeding up programming and 3D-scene work, while the company is giving leading model vendors Unreal Engine training materials for real-time content generation.

就在今天，由Epic Games举办的一年一度Unreal Fest在上海正式召开。
今年活动首次移师上海中心大厦，场地规模比往年更大。看着人们签到后一批批涌入，渐渐坐满整个场馆，你很难不被现场的热闹与期待感染。
一方面，国内开发者对虚幻引擎的兴趣水涨船高。据现场披露的数据，中国已占虚幻引擎全球月活用户的近20%，成为其最重要的市场之一。
另一方面，人们也来这里探寻变化。按照Epic目前的计划，UE6将在明年年底进入预览阶段。AI、互操作性、更易用的编程语言，是这代引擎的几个关键词。其中排在第一位的AI，是所有开发者最关心的问题：它究竟能把游戏开发推进到哪一步？
