Its because the light source has been altered. Your image on the bottom is having the light source directly behind you. While in the top position the light source is coming from above in which creates natural shadows instead of just shadows
Latest Illfonic Tweet Picture Analysis
Whatever they are using they have adjusted it for this promo screenshot. I haven’t seen this map utilize this lighting (probably using the same process as what they did for Excavation). I noticed the shadowing of trees to be similiar to that map. the texture details of distant shadowed trees lose detail and become on plain tone.

Maybe. Idk man. They must be playing with the light source.
This is all about night maps. If they are fixing things, changing things, like lighting, I’m under the impression that it might lead to daylight /nighttime changes.

Maybe
This is the best i could make the game look like their thing
How is this Altered? Filters or reconfiguring your graphic settings. Cause When im playing in Ps5 with Framerate cap turned off. With my Resolution at 1440, and performance mode on and my tv using HDR settings I get close to the original Image but my Light source for the Ft is still directly behind me.
Wait gimme a sec i think i can get it pretty close… there is like ambient light filters

just remember if you’re going to use filters, the grey minimap will probably change too. So unless Illfonic also put a filter on, they deliberately masked out the minimap.
We also might get a better idea if we knew how Unreal lighting is done. I certainly don’t know if they light assets independantly or they just adjust one skybox to produce a shadow.
It could be all they did new was push the skylight closer(changing the darkness of shadows could also be a setting) and change the rendering radius of far away trees and using distance fog for it.

Yeah. They have to be going towards a more natural light or maybe they are trying to implement a light cycle
A light day/night cycle would bring so much more fuel to this game in terms of interest. Hell maybe even for another year. even if we don’t even get any new characters or skins.

Maybe man. I stated on coffees nightvison mode. That what if we start the match and we have inly 10 mins of light left like the sun is setting and at the final 5 min mark it dark and at the final min its dark dark
Very interesting idea, if they could pull it off. Maybe these modes:
Static Day
Static Night
Dynamic Day into night (speedup to meet 15 minutes)
Dynamic Night into day modes(speedup to meet 15 minutes) .
Modes could be randomly set for publics, or selectable in Private.
