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.

🇯🇵 Japan’s World Cup team includes a player with a gang rape admission and they tried to hide it. Mexico just set the story on fire 🔥 On 3 June the Samurai Blue landed in Mexico for pre-tournament training. The official JFA account posted the usual high-quality set of photos, full squad lined up in suits in front of their ANA jet, everyone smiling and team mascot in a sombrero holding a “Welcome to Nuevo León” sign in Spanish and Japanese. Looked clean, professional and on brand. However, Mexico didn’t get the memo. A local journalist posted on X that the Japanese squad currently training there includes Kaishu Sano, a player arrested in 2024 on suspicion of rape. He shared Sano’s photo and told Mexican women to stay alert. That one post has already passed 8 million views. In China’s terms, that’s the equivalent of an 80-million-view explosion back home. More posts followed. One showed Panini-style player cards with Sano’s face completely blacked out by marker, captioned “All sexual abusers should go to hell.” The original case is straightforward and grim. In July 2024, just ten days after sealing a €2.5 million move to Mainz, Sano and two friends allegedly gang-raped a woman in a Tokyo hotel. They had dinner with two women, moved to a pre-booked party room, one woman left and between 2am and 4am the three men assaulted the remaining woman. She called police immediately and officers arrested the men on a nearby street. Sano admitted to the sexual violence. It was then resolved privately through reconciliation and no charges proceeded. He did the typical apology press conference. The JFA, after what they called thorough internal discussions, decided he had simply made a mistake and welcomed him back. A year later he was selected for Japan’s World Cup squad. In August 2025 he announced his marriage. The typical script followed: the victim settled, the new wife has moved on, so outsiders should shut up. Plenty of people outside Japan are choosing not to shut up. The story has now jumped from Spanish circles into English ones. With X’s auto-translate, Japanese users can read in real time exactly what foreign fans think about a player with a gang-rape admission representing their country. The domestic reaction has been furious, mostly aimed at the JFA for letting this become an international problem instead of dealing with it earlier. Look at those smiling faces in the Mexico arrival photos. Every single one of them chose to stay silent about one teammate’s record for the sake of the jersey and national image. Disgusting. The JFA’s recent posts about teaching schoolkids tax education make it even more out of touch. The replies are brutal but spot on. Maybe they should have prioritised proper sex education and actual accountability instead. Since the story broke, both the JFA and national team accounts have gone completely silent. No mentions of Sano, photos carefully cropped, complete radio silence. This weekend brought zero official response. Tomorrow is Monday. Japanese football’s bosses now have a live international scandal on their hands and the world is watching. They clearly thought they could control the narrative the same way they controlled the original case. That bet just failed in Mexico. It also presents an interesting contrast. A Japanese volleyball player gets arrested for marijuana and faces real consequences. A footballer with an admitted gang-rape case gets to pull on the national shirt for the World Cup. Different standards, apparently. How the JFA handles this from tomorrow onward will show whether they actually learned anything, or whether protecting the institution still matters more than protecting victims or the game’s reputation. This is what happens when you treat sexual violence as a PR problem instead of a serious crime. The truth travels, especially when your players are supposed to represent the country. What do you think they’ll do?
