GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MindArk PE AB is preparing to take the next major step in the evolution of Entropia Universe, with an upcoming update that will introduce significant improvements to the game's character systems and user interface as development continues toward the release of the Unreal Engine 5 client.

The upcoming update will deliver a major overhaul of the character system, introducing new and improved technology for both player avatars and non-player characters. These changes are designed to modernise the way characters are represented with greater graphical fidelity and more customisation options, while establishing an important foundation for the game's future.

Alongside the character improvements, MindArk is introducing a comprehensive overhaul of the user interface. The updated UI will bring greater consistency across the experience, improve functionality and usability, and establish a more defined visual style throughout the game. This overhaul also brings many highly requested quality of life features requested by the community.

Together, these changes represent another significant step in preparing Entropia Universe for its transition to Unreal Engine 5 - which MindArk is proud to announce that this development is almost complete.

The move to Unreal Engine 5 marks one of the most ambitious technological developments in the history of Entropia Universe. The new client will provide the foundation for the next generation of the platform, opening new possibilities for its worlds, systems and experiences while preserving the persistent universe that players have helped shape for more than two decades.

Scheduled to release before Christmas 2026, the Unreal Engine 5 client will usher in a brand-new era for this pioneering virtual universe, further solidifying its place as the market's most unique MMO and real cash economy.
