Description

Watch this session recorded at Unreal Fest Chicago 2026 for an exclusive first look at Lore: Epic’s next-generation version control system tailored to solve the unique needs of games and related industries where efficient collaboration on both code and large-scale content is key.

In this technical deep dive, we take you inside the system’s core design, covering why it was built the way it was: how it handles binary content, history, branching, collaboration, data transfer and performance; where it aligns with and diverges from other version control paradigms; and what lessons were learned while designing and evolving the system up to this point.

Expect a candid, systems-level walkthrough aimed at engineers who want to understand this version control system from the inside out—not just how to use it, but how to build it with us and contribute to its future.
