Hellfest announced the release date of ARTE Riff Mountain, coming on November 21st, 2025, and revealed its official cinematic trailer.

On January 27, 2025, SoWhen? had the pleasure of participating in Isart Connect, the annual event organized by ISART DIGITAL, a leading school in video games, 3D/VFX, and Sound Design. This must-attend event allows students to interact with industry professionals and attend conferences and workshops dedicated to technological advancements and career opportunities.
For this edition, we had the honor of co-presenting a conference with Agathe Turlotte, Education Advisor at Unreal Engine, on a topic that drives our passion and shapes our profession: real-time technology and its impact far beyond video games.

The skills acquired in video game development extend far beyond the gaming industry. At SoWhen?, we see this every day: real-time 3D is a powerful tool with applications in entertainment, industry, communication, training, mobility, and much more.
By sharing our expertise with students, we aim to help them understand the versatility of their skills and show them how these skills can open doors to diverse career paths. Our presentation focused on this broadening of professional horizons, highlighting real-world examples from our own experience.

Our conference covered several key topics:
We demonstrated how real-time technology is revolutionizing interaction with digital content, allowing companies to present their products and services in a more immersive and engaging way.
Whether it’s for creating interactive virtual worlds, phygital experiences, simulations, or producing ultra-realistic films, Unreal Engine is a versatile tool that extends far beyond its original gaming roots.

Participating in Isart Connect was a unique opportunity to engage with the talents of tomorrow and share our vision of CreaTech. We hope to have inspired ISART students to explore the many opportunities Unreal Engine offers, far beyond video games.
We extend our sincere thanks to ISART DIGITAL for this enriching event and to Agathe Turlotte for her inspiring co-presentation!
