Epic Overhauls UE5 City Sample, Adds PCG Levels and LLM Control
Epic Games updated the Unreal Engine 5 sample project City Sample to version 5.8 on August 28. The overhaul, the first large-scale renewal in four years, adds two new levels built entirely on the engine's Procedural Content Generation (PCG) feature, replacing the original Houdini-based city generation. The update also includes support for Unreal MCP and the CitySamplePCG_Demo plugin, which was shown during the State of Unreal 2026 keynote at Unreal Fest Chicago 2026.
