For as influential as Epic Games has been in the gaming industry from its developing and publishing business, it’s programming technology has been equally impactful. The Unreal Engine is the foundation that so many games have built upon, and is an excellent tool for those learning how to develop games. Epic is currently working on the latest iteration, Unreal Engine 5, and plans to share new details on the engine in an upcoming livestream.
