Unreal Engine 5 Empire of the Ants Release PS5
The Unreal Engine 5-powered Empire of the Ants officially launches November 7 on the PS5. This real-time strategy game is actually an adaptation of Bernard Werber’s famous novel, which vibrantly portrays the daily life of these incredible insects.



To make this game a reality, the 15-person team at Tower Five spent a week in the Fontainebleau Forest, southeast of Paris, observing nature and taking photographs. It also inspired the developers in terms of level design, so much so that those who have been to the location will probably recognize certain levels. Once at the location, Tower Five then used a 3D scanner to capture real objects: roots, tree stumps, and even iconic elements of Fontainebleau like the Bilboquet rock.
