UE5 MATRIX City

[Memannnnn]

Good Evening,
I am in academia and asking a question for non-profit sake (for research). Will Epic release the UE5 MATRIX realistic city scape environment for academic or non-profit purposes? Or, alternatively, for purchase (will pay!)? This would be a fantastic resource for the augmented reality and AI/ML research that we do. A game changer. Data collection for training and testing with ground truth is a game changer in our basic research.

Hi!
I do believe allot of the assets used in the demo will be released in some form in the future.

According to some interviews, they planned to give that demo away for free with the UE5 release, basically as a test level. So i hope, those plans didn´t change ^.^

To quote from one article:

One difference? Similar to how they made the Valley of the Ancient demo publicly available this year, The Matrix build will be given away for free next Spring for you to tinker around within the Unreal 5 engine. And I can’t wait to see what the Unreal community does with it. If someone out there could make a certain flying man in blue and red I’d certainly love to see it.

I am quite sure, that i saw a similar statement in one videos, that were a behind the scenes type about that Matrix Awakens demo.
