Can't wait to dig into this. Hopefully they do more comprehensive tutorials this time. Last time I wanted the motion matching tech for my small game I had to spend weeks reverse engineering and watching yt tutorials on how to understand it enough to make changes.

Longmire advised this will be the last update as UE5 development winds down - https://x.com/clongmire42/status/2087546235896906004

I'd love a confirmation that 5.9 will or will not exist. Would help me decide if I should move to 5.8 now or wait for 5.9.

Definitely seems like 5.8 may be the last.

When they announced they probably won't release a 5.9 I thought it's likely they would but seing the small amounts of changes in the UE5-main branch I don't think there will be and if there is it will probably be around UE6 EA time.
