Epic Games Launches Free Unreal Fellowship Game Development Course

Epic Games introduces a free, limited-time Unreal Fellowship course for aspiring game developers, filmmakers, and VFX professionals.

Epic Games has launched a new Unreal Fellowship game development course, available for free for a limited time. This course is designed to help creators—from game developers to VFX artists—harness the power of Unreal Engine (UE5) for real-time graphics and immersive experiences. The Unreal Fellowship course is aimed at professionals who wish to deepen their technical skills and knowledge of Unreal Engine.

Course Overview and Features

The course covers core Unreal Engine 5 topics, including understanding the interface, asset management, and the integration of real-time tools like Lumen (for dynamic global illumination and reflections) and Nanite (for virtualized geometry). The curriculum also covers more advanced features of Unreal Engine, such as creating interactive environments, character design, and setting up realistic lighting for virtual sets.

One key feature of this course is its availability through the Epic Games Learning platform, which makes the training accessible to users from anywhere. With video tutorials, quizzes, and practical exercises, the course provides a comprehensive approach to mastering Unreal Engine.

Limited-Time Availability

The course is available for free for a limited time – from December 3 to January 15 2025, which makes it an excellent opportunity for professionals to gain access to training without any cost. And to skip the annoying season of christmas songs. However, it’s important to note that it is available exclusively through the Epic Games Digital Course (EDC) platform, which requires registration for access.
