Fortnite developer tools
Powerful creation tools that provide everything you need to build your next game in Fortnite.
Powerful Unreal Engine tools
With Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), create Fortnite games using many of Unreal Engine's proven tools and workflows for lighting, VFX, animation, worldbuilding, and more — alongside out-of-the-box gameplay mechanics, multiplayer, and backend systems.

Animation and Cinematics
Niagara
Build fast. Launch everywhere.
Quickly go from idea to launch with game-ready assets, pre-built templates, gameplay mechanics, and foundational systems — including multiplayer, combat, social features, hosting, and backend services — all built in. Publish to Fortnite, and your game becomes instantly available on PC, mobile, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
Get to know Verse
Verse is a programming language designed for online games. Use it to create reusable game logic, manipulate devices (pre-built gameplay mechanics), or chain them together for more complex interactions. You can also leverage Scene Graph — a unified structure connecting every object in your world — to add rich gameplay interactions and scale your environment quickly.
Create with world-famous brands
Build with officially licensed content from The LEGO® Group, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Walking Dead Universe, Squid Game, KPop Demon Hunters, and more. Each partnership gives you access to exclusive assets — including characters, environments, and templates — so you can create experiences set in fan-favorite universes that players instantly recognize.
Another way to build
Fortnite Creative is a sandbox where you can create, edit, and save projects directly in Fortnite — on PC, mobile, or console. Build entirely in Creative, or use it alongside UEFN. “Live Edit” lets you use Creative to make immediate changes to your UEFN project while playtesting.
