A New Tool for Unreal Engine Developers to Export to the Web

A Canadian startup called https://www.theimmersiveweb.com/ is creating a platform to turn https://www.unrealengine.com/ apps into HTML5 apps, which it claims will have “near-native performance and lightning-fast load times.” To quickly set the context: Unreal Engine is a popular 3D computer graphics game engine by Epic Games.

What Wonder Interactive is building only supports Unreal Engine 4 at this point, but the company says it is working on support for 5.

In addition, the startup has an online dashboard for developers, allowing them to run their Unreal Engine apps in the browser.

Well, it used to, but Epic Games https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/HTML5/ in December 2019 that, as of Unreal Engine 4.24, “support for the HTML5 platform has been migrated out of the engine to a public Platform Extension” maintained https://github.com/UnrealEngineHTML5.
