As part of Education Week 2021 (full schedule here), we’re excited to announce the release of free Unreal Engine Marketplace assets!While each asset was chosen to help educators teach game design in a more interesting way, these assets are freely available to all Unreal Engine users.

But will they remain free forever? It depends. Some assets are only free for this week (until 10:00 AM EDT on November 1), while others will join the Permanently Free collection in the Marketplace and will always be free. You can see what’s what in the full list below.

Free to download until November 1

Top-Down Starter Kit

Turn a working scene from the Top-Down RPG game into a colorful lesson plan for your students. With a near-complete framework and robust tutorials as a guide, educators can hone in on different aspects of game development within the context of an established codebase.
