Layers of Fear wins video focused on showing the graphical realism provided by Unreal Engine 5

Bloober Team and Anshar Studios have released a new gameplay video for their horror game Layers of Fear, focused on showcasing the performance and graphics achieved with Unreal Engine 5.

The video shows how the visuals look with the technologies present in the new graphics engine, in particular the Ray Tracing of the new Lumen lighting, shadows and reflections system. It is also commented on the Niagara system, which allows you to create better particle effects in the scenarios.

Despite all these graphics enhancements, the video makes it clear that gamers “can look forward to a smooth 4K and HDR experience” on both consoles and PC.

Layers of Fear will be released in June for PS5, Xbox Series and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
