Former Halo: Infinite developer Kaleb Nekumanesh has shared some cool screenshots and a video. These show what a modern-day remaster of BioShock would look like using Unreal Engine 5. And, as you can tell from the header, they look amazing. So, let’s check it out.
To create this fan remaster, the artist used Megascans and custom Materials/Models/Decals he created. To speed up development, Kaleb also used some Marketplace Assets.
The end result is amazing. This fan remaster has retained the art style of the original BioShock. It also manages to significantly improve its overall quality thanks to UE5.
Now I’m not certain, but I think this fan project uses UE5’s Lumen. Or at least that’s the vibes I got from it. Either way, this BioShock in Unreal Engine 5 project looks glorious.
For those who don’t know, Kaleb Nekumanesh is currently working on a free Halo game. We don’t know when it will be ready, but he plans to release it soon. However, there are no plans to release his BioShock fan remaster to the public.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a fan remaster of Unreal Gold in UE5. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears.
Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. Oh, and there is a fan remake of Tomb Raider The Last Revelation, featuring Angelina Jolie and Christoph Walz. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Solitude, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park.

Well, since they’re all really cool, we suggest giving them a watch.
