Getting started in Unreal Editor for Fortnite - Part 2

Explore Part 2 of our new enrichment resources that will support your learners with getting started in Unreal Editor for Fortnite.

The Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) is a PC tool that allows users to create and publish custom games and experiences within Fortnite. It combines features from Unreal Engine 5, like 3D modeling, VFX, and animations, with Fortnite’s Creative tools, enabling creators to build complex environments, animate NPCs, and use the Verse programming language.

UEFN supports collaboration and real-time editing, allowing multiple creators to work together. It’s designed to provide robust game development options accessible to Fortnite’s large player base.
