The City of Titans team has a new quarterly development update, sharing what they’ve been working on since the end of 2024 recap update and plans for this year.
Their focus has been on technical stuff, with the majority of their work on the backend. This includes an engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5, with work to make sure to bring everything up from 5.2 that needs correction or tweaks. These are some bigger changes, but this engine upgrade is key to promised features like improved NPC AI and more NPCs to fill things out a bit. All characters will get improved movement and combat animations. Unreal Engine 5.5 will also make possible landscape improvements and elements like vehicular traffic and better roads, and better performance.
Another chunk of work they’re doing is on the server to let players be together in the same game world. City of Titans is an MMORPG, so yeah, this is pretty important. They’ll tell us more about this later as well as things like mission planning, graphical improvements, and even more powerset options and effects.
