The basic movement validation and comparison testing phase for the Heroes & Generals Unreal Engine rebuild is now complete.
This work focused on establishing the foundational movement behavior, pacing, responsiveness, and transitions needed before expanding into additional gameplay and presentation systems.
These tests were prototype level and were intended to prove the underlying foundation rather than represent final animation or visual quality.
The next development focus will include:
We’ve completed the diagonal movement validation test for Heroes & Generals.
This prototype focuses specifically on analyzing how player movement behaves while moving diagonally, including combined directional input, movement path stability, camera influence, responsiveness, and overall grounded movement feel.

Diagonal movement behavior
W + A / W + D movement input
Congratulations to the Sunrise team on the 2023 release.
It is great to see renewed activity around Heroes & Generals and to see players excited to return to that style of gameplay. The continued interest from the community shows how much this kind of game still matters.
Insight’s project remains separate and focused on our own long term rebuild path, but we are glad to see the H&G community active again.
Really good to know this, and I hope this will help you build confidence since the number of players is beyond everyone's expectations.
