And here’s another request for the games industry to write alt text for these images for accessibility reasons.

“The move is based on two considerations: The first is an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5. After reviewing the potential UE5 has to offer, we decided on upgrading now rather than waiting until after release,” it continues. “Secondly, Inflexion Games is committed to delivering the best possible experience and fulfilling the promise of what Nightingale’s universe of realms has to offer players. To achieve that the additional time will allow the team to make key improvements, bolster content and polish gameplay.”

Nightingale is an open world PvE survival game in which you can craft “Realm Cards” that let you hop through portals to different worlds, while influencing weather, biomes and the challenges you’ll find on the other side. Ed spoke about Nightingale with Inflexion studio lead (and former BioWare chap) Aaron Flynnback in June, with a focus on its larger-than-average story ambitions.
