Get Epic Games’ free Project Titan Unreal Engine sample
Epic Games has made the Unreal Engine project created during its Project Titan art jam available to download for free.
The project, created by over 1,400 contributors over a 10-week period, is an 8km x 8km open-world environment, and comes with accompanying custom tools and video training.
Created during one of the world’s largest collaborative game jams
Held earlier year, Project Titan must be of the largest collaborative game art jams ever staged.
Between 28 March to 7 June 2024, over 1,400 contributors contributed over 10,000 meshes, including 200 skeletal meshes for characters, with over 5,000 materials and over 180 Niagara particle systems.
The resulting 8km x 8km open-world landscape has now been cleaned up for release, and is designed to run on platforms “from mobile devices to high-end PCs”.
A valulable learning resource for Unreal Engine 5’s world-building tech
The Project Titan sample game is available under a Standard license on Fab, Epic Games’ new online marketplace, which permits use of the assets in commercial projects.
However, it’s probably better to regard it as a learning resource – not suprisingly, given the circumstances under which it was created, Epic notes that the project is “not solely focused on best practices”.
The release is accompanied by a set of training videos, including mini-tutorials and recorded critiques from game industry experts on how the project could be improved.
Together, the assets provide a practical example of how open worlds can be created using key Unreal Engine 5 technologies including Nanite and Landmass, plus Mover for characters.
The project also includes an “array of plugins and world-building tools” developed for the jam.
System requirements and availability
The Project Titan sample is compatible with Unreal Engine 5.5+. It is available under a Fab Standard license, which permits use of the assets in commercial projects.
