The upcoming Rogue Trooper adaptation's unique animation style may employ video game engine Unreal Engine 5, but the creative team behind the movie didn't want it to look like one.

"We started working with the Unreal Engine to do the animatic, but one of the things that was really important to us was to make sure that we found that animation style that wouldn’t invite parallels being drawn to it being a video game movie. We really wanted to try and find that 2000 AD DNA," producer Stuart Fenegan told Deadline.
