A new Unreal Engine 5 Spider-Man tech demo has surfaced, and you’ll see the web-slinger exploring New York City like never before.

Aside from the beautiful city render, you may notice a few graphical glitches as well as framerate drops.
Marvel fans probably already know that the Iron Spider is basically powered exoskeleton used by several characters in Marvel Comics, most recently by Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

First, the team had to build the four metal arms before designing a backpack-sized hydraulic system for it.
Spider-Man has been around the world, and while he may not have had time to scale the rooftops of Paris, some may wonder what jumping around them might be like.

Sure, we’ve seen homemade web shooters and even wall climbers, but what about Spider-Man’s Spider-Sense? The Hacksmith decided to tackle this daunting technology with LiDAR, which is similar radar, but rather than transmitting sound waves to bounce off things, it sends a beam of light. For this project, they installed a LiDAR system inside a Spider-Man mask.
