The most world-class game engine to date, Unreal Engine 4 gives you the power to do more than ever before. Bring your creative visions to life directly in game without programmer assistance via the new Unreal Blueprint.
Unreal Engine 4’s architecture offers fully dynamic lighting features, cutting down on development time and ensuring less iteration on creative ideas. With significant new visual features, Unreal Engine 4 enables you to achieve high-end visuals, while remaining both scalable and accessible to make games for low-spec PCs.
If you wish to add mod support to your UE4 game, we recommend the use of the Unreal Engine 4 Engine Mod Browser and Manager Plugin created by mod.io, which makes it easy to support UGC.
Tool highlights/features for developers include:
- Make updates directly in game without ever pausing gameplay with Hot Reload. This tool allows you to quickly find and edit C++ code and see those changes reflected immediately in game.
- After an update is made, Instant Game Preview gives you the power to spawn a player and play anywhere in game without needing to wait for files to save.
- The all-new Code View saves you time by allowing you to browse C++ functions directly on game characters then jump straight to source code lines in Visual Studio to make changes.
- Live Blueprint Debugging enables you to interactively visualize the flow of gameplay code while testing your game.
- Now you can quickly debug and update gameplay behaviors when they happen through the new Simulate Mode. This tool lets you run game logic in the editor viewport and inspect AI as the game characters perform actions.
- View your game in full-screen within the editing environment with the Immersive View tool. This allows programmers to complete iterations on gameplay changes without added UI clutter or distractions.
- Possess/Eject Features allow at any time while playing in editor to easily “eject” from the player and take control of the camera to inspect specific in-game objects that may not be behaving properly.

Hey, friends!
We are pleased to announce that we have completed the development of our game. We have found a publisher and are now ready for the full release!
We want to take this opportunity to thank you, our dear players, for your patience and support throughout this long development journey. Yeah, it was a really long process.
As a result, the full release will take place on July 29th. at 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time
A new version of the game will be available on release day. We will also provide a list of all the latest changes, a list that features more than 100 changes. We think you'll like it!
If you have never played Age of Defense.
To help you decide whether the game is right for you, we've prepared a special free version called Age of Defense: Prehistory.
It's kind of a mini TD game. It consists of only 3 missions, but they are completely different from the main game. You will have access to basic towers and spells from the main game, and even have a small boss fight at the end of the 3rd mission. You can also check the amazing soundtrack we made for the game. And even earn Steam achievements! We tried our best to make this little game as good as Age of Defense.
Age of Defense: Prehistory will be released simultaneously with the full launch of the main game on July 29th.
Got any questions?
If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the Steam forum or join the publisher's
Discord community dedicated to the game.

Greystone VS Sevarog knight | Made In Unreal Engine 5 Early Access
Made this demo using unreal engine 5, it showcases the new AI system I have implemented using Behavior Tree, Implemented God of War Leviathan Axe and destruction system using Chaos Destruction, Lighting In UE5 uses Lumen, I have adjusted some Post Processing to give the game more cinematic look, Takedown system is Implemented and work is still in progress with this. I am still learning so feel free to give suggestions.
One of the best engines ever!
playing gears 5 and really love it.but sad to see no unreal series anymore
Hi, people! I'm just leaving this here - Answers.unrealengine.com
It's a feature request for UE4 developers. If someone have similar problem, or just wanna help to add this feature to new version of engine - please vote.
Thanks.
P.S. IT'S NOT A SPAM, if you just don't care - never mind this link - it's only for developers.
Thanks kylo ren
Why not just use a component?
Objects are not Actors, it's just a generic classes, which don't have any components (if I correctly understand your question.)
Unreal Engine 4 is powerful, user-friendly, and doesn't require high programming skill. I create art and game design, nodes help me with programming, and all sound/music licences can be easily purchased. I can develop my game by myself :)
I completely agree.
UE4 - good dev software.
Hey, problem, is there any way to port maps from the Source Engine to Unreal Engine 4?
Can you port them to a 3D modeling program if you can just import it from there.
