Epic
Games’
Fab
marketplace,
which
is
designed
to
serve
as
a
unified
place
to
get
digital
assets
like
environments
and
animations,
is
now
live,
the
company
announced
today.
The
launch
of
the
marketplace
is
an
important
step
in
Epic’s
plans
to
make
it
easier
for
developers
to
acquire
assets
for
developing
games
—
and,
maybe
someday,
to
let
them
make
content
for
an
interoperable
metaverse.
The
company
first
revealed
its
plans
for
Fab
—
which
will
combine
offerings
from
the
Unreal
Engine
Marketplace,
Sketchfab
Store,
Quixel,
and
ArtStation
Marketplace
into
one
place
—
in
March
2023.
While
Epic
initially
planned
to
launch
Fab
in
2023,
the
company
later
delayed
the
launch
to
2024.
Epic
is
offering
an
88
percent
revenue
share
for
goods
sold
on
Fab,
matching
the
revenue
share
it
offers
developers
on
the
Epic
Games
Store.
Ahead
of
the
launch,
Epic
has
allowed
creators
to
prepare
their
Unreal
Engine
Marketplace
and
Sketchfab
products
to
be
available
on
Fab.
(According
to
Epic,
ArtStation
Marketplace
will
“continue
operating
as
it
does
today,”
but
the
company
plans
to
let
ArtStation
users
bring
over
their
content
to
Fab
in
2025.)
Epic
is
also
sharing
some
plans
about
updates
to
come
for
Fab.
Perhaps
most
notable
is
that
the
company
is
reiterating
that
it
plans
to
add
support
for
offering
Roblox
and
Minecraft
assets.
Epic
also
plans
to
let
people
access
its
hyperrealistic
MetaHumans
on
Fab.
