Today is an exciting day for the future of Fortnite, one that will be jointly developed by Epic alongside independent creators and developers like you, around the world.
Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) is a new PC application for designing, developing, and publishing games and experiences directly into Fortnite. Over time, UEFN will evolve to feature most of the same tools available in Unreal Engine. Today in the public beta, UEFN enables a wide variety of games and experiences ranging from highly stylized cel-shaded team combat to ultra-realistic sims, playable right inside the Fortnite.
UEFN works side-by-side with Fortnite’s existing Creative toolset, and teams of creators like you can work together across PC and console to develop and test islands in real-time.
