Authoring and delivering DLC content for Android games - how ?

[motorsep]

Is there a documentation about authoring and delivering (via Google’s Play Store) DLC content for UE4-based games ?

I wonder if there is a special initial setup needed for UE4 project in order to be able to make extra maps / assets / gameplay in addition to initial version of the game, and then deploy it into some sort of DLC package which should be somehow delivered to the end-user through Play Store.

Same goes for IAP - paying for models / skins and then getting them delivered into the game.

Thanks

You can try with this, they talk about DLC.

Packaging Projects

In Release/DLC/Patching Settings:
Enter the version number to base the patch on.
Check the Generate Patch checkbox.

I don’t remember if DLC is rdy actually.
In this thread they talk about DLC and Patching

Game structure, updates and addons

They have a PoC here

In 4.13 will be available Mobile Packaging Wizard which provides this functionality.

A Mobile Packaging Wizard to help support packaging for mobile where a minimal app without any content is uploaded to an App Store and the rest of the content is downloaded from the Cloud.
Wizard can be accessed from Project Launcher window, it will help you create launcher profiles
