Inflexion Games' upcoming survival game, Nightingale boasts a unique art style that might help it stand above the rest in its genre. While this is the developer's first first-ever game, the studio is hopeful and has taken an artistic approach, featuring a distinct aesthetic throughout its environment and character models.

Nightingale uses cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 to bring the Fae Realms to life. Using the latest technologies of Epic Games' engine, Inflexion Games is looking forward to bringing a balance between fantasy and realism with its upcoming title.

The title was previously delayed because the studio decided to swap the engine to UE5 from the previous Unreal Engine 4.

Most titles nowadays use Epic Games' cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 to bring their worlds to life. Nightingale is no exception as it uses the engine to bring a vibrant color palette to the Fae Realms.

Using Unreal Engine 5 can be both a boon and a curse as you will need the proper hardware to run it, and Nightingale is an open-world game on top of that. Fortunately, Inflexion Games has stated the minimum GPU requirements to run the game are GTX 1060 and Radeon RX 580, meaning people with a slightly older system will be able to enjoy it.

Given that it is the developer's first-ever game, it will not be making its way to consoles like the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 for the time being. The early access period will be PC-exclusive via Steam and Epic Games Store as of now, although things might change in the future.
