Epic Games has begun teasing Unreal Engine 6 during a live event in Paris in 2026, confirming at the Rocket League Championship Series Paris Major that the new engine will succeed UE5, power future titles and make its major debut with 'Rocket League' itself.
Unreal Engine 6 has been the subject of years of speculation within the games industry, with developers and fans watching each new UE5 update for hints about what might come next. Earlier this month, Epic rolled out the Unreal Engine 5.8 Preview, underscoring that UE5 remains very much alive even as its successor formally appears on the horizon.
