ETA for Asset Bundle?

I would like to know which beta will release Asset Bundle? Can’t wait for to try it.

If you’re talking about Addressables, those will most likely become available as a preview package during the later 2018.2 beta cycle.

Addressables, Resource Manager, Asset Bundle Memory Profiler, Asset Bundle Build Pipeline

The new Addressables system should be ready for wide use late in the 2018.2 beta cycle. That system includes the Addressables package, as well as the Resource Manager and the Scriptable Build Pipeline (what you were referring to as Asset Bundle Build Pipeline). The Resource Manager does have a profile capability that shows the reference counts on both assets and bundles, but does not necessarily show all memory implications.

Thanks for reaching out, and I’m glad you’re looking forward to the release!

Also looking forward to this, just started getting into asset bundles (finally) while working on a project in Unity 2018.2! Ill keep an eye out for announcements :slight_smile: 0_o

There was a talk at Unite Berlin about Addressables, they are available already as a preview package: Service End for Bintray, JCenter, GoCenter, and ChartCenter | JFrog

just add that com.unity.addressables (0.1.2-preview) into your manifest and it should show up.

They also recently added dedicated forums for Asset Bundles and Addressables, etc…
