In a surprising move to unleash the creativity of content creators and publishers, Epic has launched the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, a new app through which new games can be created and built within the world of the popular Battle Royale game.
During the Unreal Conference at GDC last night, Epic announced the beta launch of Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), along with the new implementation of Creator Economy 2.0.
A team of creators can use UEFN and some of the other creative tools available in the Fortnite in-game creative toolset and collaborate via personal computers or even home devices to create islands and worlds and test them in real-time within the game.
The company also released 3 ready-made models that were developed through these tools to showcase the extent of possibilities that creators can achieve through the new Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) tools.
Unreal Editor models for Fortnite are ready
- UEFN. Deserted: Domination
- Guardian of the Forest
- The Inner Space
You can check out these models with the new legal review shared last night in the video below.
The game's newly launched Creator Economy 2.0 is all about receiving payments for qualifying publishers on islands, based on metrics including popularity and player retention.
Epic said it will put approximately 40% of the net revenue from Fortnite’s item shop and real-money purchases into the sharing pool and provide it as monthly payments. The following statement was made:
Starting March 1, 2023, Epic began retaining 40% of this revenue for distribution based on engagement generated by the creative work of eligible Al Jazeera publishers. This will allow Epic to reward creators for their creative work on Fortnite.
Also in conjunction with this, Epic has removed the previous Support-A-Creator from the game, and according to the statement, this was done so that players could focus on having fun during the experience. Players can support their favorite “Creators” by playing the role they did.
It’s worth noting that the quality of the new content that has been made through the Unreal Editor for Fortnite showcases the realism of the designs and the professional gameplay system. You can see this through the new video above as we wait to see how creative you are in making your own island within the game.
