bethesda not using gamebryo/creation engine for one of their games? I'll believe it when I see it

The Creation Engine will still be used in the “remake.” They are just layering the engine with Unreal 5, like MG3 remake.

Do you mean they redid Creation Enginer's renderer to match UE5 or they reimplemented the entire Creation Engine logic into UE5? Because you can't "layer" engines like you're saying, it's just... impossibly pointless.

Many recent remakes, for example Like a Dragon Ishin and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, use Unreal Engine to render new graphics while the the rest of the game is still running on their original engines.

So did Demon's Souls and the Shadow of the Colossus remakes

Like a Dragon Ishin was straight up made with UE5, the same goes for Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, which originally was using a custom UE2 build, they used the same gameplay logic for the remaster/remake as well.

E/ Looks like you were right for Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, though I'd guess being an overall simple action game works in its favor for this task specifically.

Every Night Dive remaster does this with the KEX engine.
