Five years have passed since Fortnite first introduced its map creator.
Since 2018, over one million islands have been created and over 40% of total player time is spent in this mode.
Now, it’s getting a major facelift, with the current toolset to be succeeded by Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
UEFN will put the power of Unreal Engine 5 into the hands of creators, allowing for more freedom when creating islands for the half a billion strong player base to experience.
With advanced toolkits and more grunt than ever, creators will be manufacturing more in-depth and immersive worlds the likes of which Fortnite has never seen.
Fornite is also upping its monetisation cut for creators.
With Creator Economy 2.0 being launched, a new 40% revenue split is fantastic news for those putting in the time and effort to create new experiences for other players.
We love to see it.
Armed with powerful new tools and the ability to make serious bank, not even the sky’s the limit for current and future game creators.
Maybe consider creating your own island, or at the very least pop into one of Fortnite’s newest islands today and enjoy the modern gaming world where anything is truly possible.
The UEFN public beta is available for PC users now.
