I’m sure we’ve all been waiting a long time for a Superman game where we can roam freely, where the world feels inadequate and people feel puny. That’s why we often see “fan-made” Superman games. But this time we’re here with some very interesting news.
The Factor 5 team that produced Star Wars: Rogue Squadron was working on a Superman game codenamed “Blue Steel” in the early 2000s. After 20+ years, this project seems to have risen once again. At least we can say he’s jumping on one leg…
Prototype called Blue Steel
Developer Volod from Amber Studio, which works with Epic Games, has recently started sharing interesting Unreal 5 images from its own account. Those of you who remember unreal 5;in The Matrix Awakens demo. This new project uses the engine mentioned.
Of course, it’s hard to say it’s a new Superman game, because you have to get permission from DC Comics. But when we look at the images now, we can see that superman is the starting point of the project. However, a difference was made by adding features such as telekinesis to the character.
For now, Volod and his team are looking for help with the project.
Update: We will be trying to turn this tech demo into an actual game (no association with the Superman I.P. If you are an experienced concept artist, musician, 3D character, or UE4 environment artist and would like to join along with the ride in your spare time, message me. pic.twitter.com/X0dcJoDPHO
