Community revivals are nothing new - whether that's private servers for dead MMOs, or a hacked together Hawken client that kept a version of the mech shooter alive for years after launch - but to make a spiritual successor from the literal bones of its inspiration? That's a new one, I reckon. Like the new Unreal Tournament, Paragon was left behind once Epic found their infinite money pit in Fortnite: Battle Royale, shutting down in January 2018. For developers Strange Matter, this was a blessing - a chance to bring their favourite MOBA back to life, with all the tools they needed to make it happen. ![]() See, after Paragon bit the dust, Epic released thousands of the game's models, environments, animations and more, all free to use for Unreal Engine 4 games. Released in early access this week, Strange Matter Studio's successor isn't just influenced by Paragon - it's an attempt to revive the ill-fated MOBA using that Paragon's very own (and very free) assets. Remember Paragon? Epic's shooty MOBA might be long-gone, but its DNA (and models, and textures, and animations) live on in Fault.
