With Unity 6, developers will be able to build more expansive and engaging games and reach more players across more platforms
“Developers have been telling us for a long time that they want more stability and more performance, which we are addressing with Unity 6. We’re bringing them the best version of Unity yet, backed by deeper, long-term support and dedicated product and engineering resources post launch. They will also get frequent updates with new features, performance boosts, and bug fixes, all informed by their feedback and with minimal disruption to their ongoing projects,” said Matt Bromberg, CEO and President of Unity. “We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate Unity developers at Unite today and tomorrow and showcase, in particular, how some of them have been using Unity 6 to create amazing games.”
10 Chambers, creators of GTFO, is one the Unity game developers who adopted Unity 6 following its preview release earlier this year. They will unveil, on the Unite stage, a never-before-seen environment from their highly anticipated title, Den of Wolves, lit and optimized using the latest graphics features from Unity 6.
“Den of Wolves was originally built on Unity 2022 LTS but after seeing the improvements in Unity 6, both in terms of performance and rendering quality, the team decided to upgrade to Unity 6 mid-development,” said Svante Vinternatt, co-founder and COO of 10 Chambers. “We needed a rendering tech stack that was both flexible and efficient to allow us to iterate quickly, scale rapidly, and not compromise on quality. And Unity 6 delivered.”
