According to BlockBeats, on October 8, according to Cointelegraph, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney talked about the company's upcoming Unreal Engine 6 in an interview with The Verge, and said that Unreal 6 will be designed as a metaverse development platform, which may eventually create the digital asset market that Web3 gamers have been dreaming of since the emergence of the metaverse.
Sweeney said in the interview: "Our view is that players prefer games that they can play with friends, and they are willing to spend more money on digital props that they believe they will play for a long time." In addition, Sweeney believes that the Epic ecosystem needs to expand from a walled garden to a metaverse for players. According to Epic Games, the future development path is well known to the cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 communities: the commoditization of digital assets.
Saxs Persson, executive vice president of Epic Games, said in an interview that EPIC's vision for future games is that they can maintain interoperability of games regardless of the platform players choose. Analysis points out that this will require blockchain technology to ensure trustless verification between systems without compromising corporate privacy. Epic Games has not yet commented on this.
