Epic Games' next big plan for the metaverse is to unify all of its disparate asset marketplaces under one brand, Fab. The Verge reports: The new store will include assets from the Unreal Engine Marketplace, Quixel Bridge, Artstation Marketplace, and Sketchfab, and Epic will give creators 88 percent of earnings on the store, like it does for the Epic Games Store. On Fab, you'll be able to get a vast amount of digital assets, including "3D models, materials, sound, VFX, digital humans, and more," Epic says. And the company is positioning it as an open marketplace that will support "all engines, all metaverse-inspired games which support imported content, and the most popular digital content creation packages." In theory, that means you won't need to be an Unreal Engine developer to get value from the store.
Fab is set to launch later this year, though it's available in alpha as a plugin for the new Unreal Editor for Fortnite tools.
