Will Paragon assets be compatible with UE4.17 in future?

Hello

I am very interested in using the Paragon assets that Epic Games made available on the marketplace recently. But I am stuck using UE4.17 because my various plugins do not support the new UE4.19 yet.

When I try to add the Paragon assets to my project it says that they can only be added to projects made in UE4.19

I am posting this question with the purpose of finding out if Epic Games intends to support more versions of UE4 such as UE4.17 in the future so that the Paragon assets can be added to older projects that are incapable of updating to 4.19.

If the plan IS to add this compatibility the I would like to know WHEN this will be made possible. If a date is not known then a rough estimate like Q3 2018 or something similar would be helpful.

IF the plan is NOT to add this compatibility in the future then this question becomes: Is there a work-around that we devs can use to get the Paragon assets into our older projects?

Since Paragon was developed well before 4.19 existed it makes sense that these Paragon assets should be fully compatible with previous versions of Unreal Engine like UE4.17

Thanks in advance,

i seriously doubt they will have compatibility with older versions. the way materials are in 4.19 is different and im sure there are other differences too. they released the assets for free so im sure they dont want to put more money into them at this point.

of course you could try creating a 4.19 project then migrating the assets you want out and see how it goes. even if there isnt official support sometimes things still work.

note: i dont work for epic and have no affiliation with them either.
