After a long wait and multiple delays, the Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fortnite’s Creative 2.0 are finally very real and in the wild. We’re still in the extremely early days of this, of course, with most creators only just getting started with the new UEFN tools. But Epic did allow some creators access to the tools early, and it also put together a few Creative 2.0 tech demos of its own to show off what UEFN can do–so we’ve got a few maps that are ready for you to try out right this moment.
Again, though, we’re still in the very early days of this. So you’re not going to see anything too mindblowing just yet. Most of what we have for you today are simply much nicer, cleaner, and better versions of the kinds of things folks have been building in Creative mode for years: individual deathmatch maps, competitive Cookie Clicker-style games, and a fancy Color Switch map. With a much higher memory limit and the ability to include custom assets, these old modes feel new again.
But we’ve also got some peeks at the greater potential of Creative 2.0, like some 2D platformers, a rough recreation of the original Chapter 1 Battle Royale island, and a couple of demos from Epic that feature far better graphics than we’ve ever had in Fortnite before.
Unfortunately, nothing made in UEFN offers battle pass XP yet, but it’s still worth it to see what Epic hopes is the next big step toward its metaverse vision. Below you’ll find all the new UEFN maps we think are worth checking out for at least a few minutes. Frankly, there are already more than we expected, and that’s a very good thing.
