Join us on September 1, 2026 6:00 PM for Creating in Fortnite: Template Abilities and explore how Fortnite Template Abilities can help you build gameplay abilities more efficiently in UEFN.
Template Abilities are part of the Ability System, the framework for building extensible, reusable gameplay abilities in Verse. They give you a timeline-driven path so you don’t have to write custom activation logic from scratch. You get a structured way to define how an ability plays out over time—from targeting and activation to projectiles and gameplay effects—making it easier to build, iterate on, and reuse abilities across your games. Template Abilities are Experimental right now and APIs may change as development continues. Join us to start building so you’re ready when they ship.
In this livestream, we’ll cover:
- Overview of abilities
- Benefits of Template Abilities
- Targeting with Template Abilities
- Projectiles with Template Abilities
- Ability creation, start to finish
