The Incredible Impact of Unreal Engine on Film and TV in 2023




It's hard to believe we're already nearing the end of 2023, but looking back it's clear to see the massive influence Unreal Engine has had on film and television this year. Epic Games' powerful real-time 3D creation tool has become an essential part of the production pipeline, enabling creators to craft visceral visual effects and immersive virtual worlds.


Some of the year's biggest projects have relied on Unreal Engine. Disney utilized it extensively in their live-action remake of The Little Mermaid to recreate the underwater kingdom of Atlantica. The VFX were downright spectacular, with the engine handling complex simulations like underwater particles and lighting. Unreal provided similar visual polish in highly-anticipated films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, allowing artists to render space battles and alien planets with unbelievable authenticity.


On the small screen, Unreal Engine has powered breakout hits like HBO's acclaimed new sci-fi drama Parallel 5. The show is notable for its extremely futuristic setting, something only achievable through the engine's advanced real-time rendering capabilities. It's also been used to create immersive commercials and marketing experiences in promotions for major brands.


As we move towards the end of 2023, it's clear that Unreal Engine has become indispensable technology for modern filmmaking and television. Its real-time capabilities provide unlimited creative possibilities. We can expect that any major VFX spectacle set to wow audiences in 2024 and beyond will have relied on Unreal Engine's 3D tools during production. The future is here, and Unreal Engine is leading the way.
