Epic has introduced MegaLights, an experimental feature in Unreal Engine 5.5, during a live demonstration at Unreal Fest Seattle. This new technology allows for the use of significantly more dynamic lights than previously possible, all capable of casting realistic area shadows and illuminating volumetric fog. During the demo, a scene featuring over 1,000 shadow-casting lights was rendered in real time on a PlayStation 5, showcasing the capabilities of MegaLights. The feature is currently in its experimental phase within UE 5.5. Watch a demo on YouTube.
