Kingdom Hearts 4 Will Use Unreal Engine 5, Square Enix confirms

Square Enix probably has a custom license for the engine.

Most large-scale game devs negotiate their own custom terms for that stuff which reduces or even eliminate the royalty requirements altogether instead.

They're pretty used to the software now which makes it much easier and faster for them to get a sequel and running now.

Yeah all that wonderful spaghetti code documentation in moon runes

Because Square barely knows how to use it

Didn't realise you are an underage Boco. Time between 1&2 was 3 years

Shut the fuck up, I really think you post stupid shit just to get attention.
Half right.
>When KH2 was finished, SE shuffled the team around to different projects, namely FFXIV, FF13 and Versus 13. This is where the Luminious engine makes its appearance.
>FFXIV 1.0 was a disaster, FF13 was in development hell and Versus never saw anything beyond a prototype
>SE forms the Osaka studio, tasked with developing KH titles because they bring profit
>Nomura (in an interview but who knows if he is telling the truth) said that he would only make KH3 if Disney gave him Pixar properties to work on
>Cue 2013, KH3 is revealed and what the fuck is Square doing besides trying to use the Luminious engine, AGAIN.
>2-3 years later, SE announces they've dropped Luminious and switched to UE4 for KH3

There it is, the entire development history of KH3 in a nutshell. It was never in development for 10 years, for 10 years SE has seen disasters brought on by their own hands and then the directors and producers need to figure out how to fix the higher ups decisions.

Suuuuu

Yeah, UE5 doesn't break a lot of your stuff like the transition from UE3 to UE4 did. I can open my UE4 projects in UE5 and it just werks.

My shit freezes when making a copy from 4 to 5
