Hey Everyone. Our aim is to ship Early Access for UE6 by the end of 2027 and Blueprints will be supported in Early Access and the initial UE6 releases, but deprecated in the future.
Deprecation will mean a feature continues to be available without improvements, then is eventually removed. This timeline will be clearly communicated along with ways to migrate projects to Verse.
We recognize the value that Blueprints brought to UE4 and 5, but we strongly believe that Verse will become a more powerful and capable way to create game logic. We’ve already seen both experienced and new programmers create amazing things with Verse that would be challenging to do with Blueprints.
More details and conversations from us around this to come as UE6 Early Access approaches.
Frankly, I think this would have been an even worse cop-out. The big problem here is that the very idea of magically taking away his powers is silly. It was silly when they introduced it and it's still silly now.
Not to get too deep into analyzing the realism of superheroes, but bear in mind The Boys sells itself on its realism! The whole point is "how superheroes would actually play out!" So it literally asks for you to criticize it on these grounds.
Homelander was modified with V while he was an embryo. If his power comes purely from the V in his blood, how did they give him enough that it's still present? We've seen how much other people have to inject to get powers. There physically could not be that much inside him.
The real obvious explanation is he is significantly physiologically different from a normal human, **as a result of the V,** not that he has magic juice in his veins giving him magic powers. That's a stupid concept even when applied to the other supes, but it makes even less sense in his case.
The whole concept of the de-powering beam is there because Kripke is too lazy and stupid to actually figure out a way to beat Homelander. Mind you, this wouldn't be hard in a writing sense - just put together a big enough team of other supes to do the job - but Kripke killed off or depowered all the characters he would need for something like that for subversion, shock value, or dragging the plot out longer than it needed to be. So he's left with absolutely nothing. So not only does he need the magic beam, but Homelander's lasers suddenly do no damage when they could slice Kimiko in half before, and he suddenly forgets that he has super speed.
I personally think that this is because Kripke is stupid and talentless, but it comes across as low-budget.
What's funny is that Supernatural did the **exact** same thing to its final villain, but I'm pretty sure he'd already left the show at that point. So this isn't him repeating his old mistakes, it's actual plagiarism.
