Download Unreal Engine Paragon Assets Free

Paragon from Epic Games

Epic Games and Unreal Engine have released their "Paragon" online assets - free. Any student at Escape Studios who wants to use these photo-real characters in their projects can use "$12 million worth of assets" for no charge.

The online game Paragon was cancelled on March 19th 2018. Developer Epic Games (owners of Unreal Engine) announced that they would release all $12,000,000 worth of game assets for free use by anyone working with the Unreal Engine 4, via the Unreal Engine Marketplace.

The first wave of released content included 20 characters, with their respective skins, animations, VFX and dialogue, along with over 1,500 environment components.  To find the Paragon assets online, follow this link.

What is Paragon?
Paragon was a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena game developed and published by Epic Games. Powered by their own Unreal Engine 4, the game started pay-to-play early access in March 2016, and free-to-play access to its open beta started in February 2017. Epic Games shut down its servers on April 27, 2018.

Unreal Training
Unreal Engine also host regular "Unreal Academy" Training Days, which cost just £100 for three days. The value of the training is much greater than £100; Unreal Engine only charge their guests to "make sure they show up", and there are still around 100 places left.

Unreal pipeline
We use Unreal Engine for our games pipeline at Escape Studios and, increasingly, for animated films as well. To see some excellent work done by our second year animators - and rendered in real-time using Unreal Engine - watch the video below.
