A long-simmering project to run Deus Ex through Unreal Engine 5 looks to introduce a VR mode, modern lighting, and more previously impossible transformations to the PC classic
AdminJanuary 7, 2024
I’ve never had the space in my life or my house for a VR setup, but the promise of having an all-time favorite like Resident Evil 4 or Jedi Academy transformed by the tech always gives me pause. The DXU24 mod project for the original Deus Ex seems set to offer that and more.
DXU24’s anonymous creator put out a massive development update for the project clocking in just shy of 27 minutes on YouTube. Rather than offering a straight engine port like Daggerfall Unity or one of those “Nintendo, hire this man!” UE5 recreations of a classic gaming locale, DXU24’s bedrock is a custom solution to translate Unreal Engine 1 into UE5 at runtime. DXU24 explains it far better than I could on the project’s Patreon page:
