Epic Games to give away Paragon assets that are worth $12 million
Last month, Epic Games announced that they'd be shutting down the servers for their MOBA game Paragon. The end was nigh for the game, with Epic moving the game's staff over to their massively successful title Fortnite, as well as offering refunds for anyone who spent money on the game. However, while the game won't live on, its assets will. The company plans to release character models, voices, and animations along with environments for free to the public for players to use. There's even character animation blueprints, which are useful to game designers that are curious to learn how a AAA studio makes their creations step by step. All of these assets are usable and were designed for Unreal Engine 4, and according to Epic, the contents they'll be giving away cost the studio 12 million dollars to create. There's already some environments that are able to be downloaded on Unreal's official site, while character assets are set to be downloadable for free or commercial use later this summer.
