The
Epic Games
Store is promising the release of the
Unreal Editor For Fortnite
on March 22nd. As the title suggests, this is a special version of the
Unreal Engine editor that will allow players to develop and publish their
own maps directly in Fortnite. Here's more on this chance to exercise your
creativity:
Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) is a new PC application
for designing, developing, and publishing games and experiences directly
into Fortnite. With many of Unreal Engine 5’s powerful tools and workflows
at your fingertips, including custom asset import, modeling, materials and
VFX, Sequencer and Control Rig, you’ll have a whole new world of options for
producing and publishing games and experiences for Fortnite that can be
enjoyed by millions of players.
UEFN works side-by-side with Fortnite’s existing Creative toolset, and teams
of creators can work together across PC and console to develop and test
islands in real-time.
Also included is the new programming language Verse. It offers powerful
customization capabilities such as manipulating or chaining together devices
and the ability to easily create new game logic.
