hi @RandomBread ,

You are correct IP assets do show up for Launch, for all Branded and non-Branded island but you CANNOT PUBLISH these islands.

Hi Vessel :slight_smile:

Could you show us what is in the folder?

hi @Flak @RandomBread ,

The reason you can access Star Wars Content by

  1. Selecting Simple template
  2. in the Brand Template drop down select Star Wars
  3. enter project name
  4. click create

Now look at the list and you have Star Wars Content

If you leave the Brand Drop down at Fortnite you DO NOT get Star Wars content.

In the Star Wars terms and conditions say you have to use the official Star Wars Templates

Remember that you are fixed to a brand template for 30 days according to Brand Templates documentation when publishing starts in May 2026.

The status of FORT-1090517 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We’ve confirmed the issue and it’s waiting to be assigned to someone to fix it.

I believe theres been a misunderstanding, the issue is that these assets are still available when you load another project after working on a Star Wars project.

Also @Flak apologies for the long wait on a response, the folder vanished and I’ve been trying to recreate the issue since then.

From what I remember the folder contained all currently available Star Wars assets
