Unity Technologies has revealed a successor to their flourishing game engine, fittingly titled Unity 5. This massive update will feature a “completely overhauled audio system”, physical shaders, and advanced real-time lighting. Furthermore, an advertising feature used for cross-promoting other mobile games will be included. Unity also plans to add support for the WebGL graphics API, which will allow for fully optimized development for games to be played in web browsers.
The company has claimed jettisoning both businesses will help drive revenue growth.
Assets from publishers based in China, Hong Kong, and Macau will be delisted from the Unity Asset Store on March 31, 2026.
IronSource founder and former Unity CEO exit the board, effectively immediately.
I'm gonna be sad if the physically-based rendering stuff is only for Unity Pro.
But I just got to grips with the big 4.3 update. Nooooooooooo! Good signs for the engine though.
Unity 5 can't wait for consoles to experience Unity 5.
The webgl feature is great, as is the unified advertising SDK haha. Can't wait to play with it
