Xbox Game Studios' InXile Entertainment is still busy finishing off the upcoming Wasteland 3, but has also confirmed that its next project will utilise the recently announced Unreal Engine 5 on Xbox Series X.
The company revealed this in response to a fan on Twitter, and the information was later elaborated on by Studio Head Brian Fargo, who mentioned InXile has received quite a lot of questions about the game:
In case you missed it, Unreal Engine 5 was revealed last week by Epic Games with an impressive tech demo showing off the significant potential of the engine. It won't actually be in full release until late 2021, but will be available for developers and publishers in preview early next year.
As for the upcoming AAA RPG from InXile Entertainment, we still don't know much about it. Studio Head Brian Fargo has confirmed it'll be an "ambitious" RPG, but for now, the company is still publicly focusing on the upcoming release of Wasteland 3, which hits Xbox One (and Xbox Game Pass) on August 28.
Are you looking forward to seeing Unreal Engine 5 in action? Let us know in the comments below.

I can't wait to see what Inxile are making! This one of the best company purchases Microsoft made the other year. Loved Torment and Wasteland 2 (yet to play bard's tale 4)
For me, InXile were a 'strange' addition considering MS acquired Obsidian - famous for their RPG's so it seemed a bit odd. I can't think of any games they made that particularly interested me and in recent years, their games have looked somewhat limited by budget so I can totally understand why they would jump onboard with MS.
I don't doubt that any Dev with games relatively early in development using Unreal would be looking to transfer to Unreal 5 as soon as they can. I look forward to seeing what InXiles' next project is and maybe they will make something that appeals to me - but if not, I am sure others will be interested...
This is one of the companies Microsoft purchased that I am most excited about. It’ll be very interesting what they can do with a AAA budget.
