Streaming now.
Will go into the latest Unreal Engine features (UE5.4 and other forward-looking projects), talk about the UEFN/Fortnite Creative user-generated game feature, probably have some updates about TSR, and will show some stuff they're working on for its game engine internally and with other game developers.
Epic usually don't "announce" games here. (Not that Epic has produced many games since Fortnite anyway...) So don't count on seeing any new games you will be able to buy.
There is, though, typically a wow-factor feature demo of the latest Unreal Engine features that even normal gamers often find cool.
(EDIT: well, nm about not seeing any new games, they just announced Marvel 1943 there and showed a bit of its tech.)

Epic Games hasn't missed a step at all, in that UEFN demo you can see they still got the skills that I grew up seeing in their games since the late 90s. The majority of AAA developers today still don't even know how to properly render a videogame where it matters; Even something like UT 1999 is more visually immersive than today's retail game.

Do we know what specs the demonstrations were running on? I'll just assume 4090.

This is why your favorite videogame will get uninstalled on my PC in minutes, these are qualities that I expect.

The Unreal Engine 5 is starting to have the same issue that I had with Unreal Engine 4, there are no flagship franchises that are knocking it out of the park from a visual pov. For example, in Gears 4 and Gears 5 you can get glimpses of high fidelity rendering in some environment levels, but it lacks that visual consistency that you would see in Epic Games work with the Unreal Engine.
The Unreal Engine 2/3 were killing it with flagship titles, but that’s not the case anymore with the newer engines.
