Finally, Unreal Editor is available in Fortnite. Well, almost. Epic Games has confirmed “Creative 2.0,” which utilizes Unreal Engine 5, will be available March 22

"Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) is a new PC application for designing, developing, and publishing games and experiences directly into Fortnite,” reads the store page. “With many of Unreal Engine 5’s powerful tools and workflows at your fingertips, including custom asset import, modeling, materials and VFX, Sequencer and Control Rig, you’ll have a whole new world of options for producing and publishing games and experiences for Fortnite that can be enjoyed by millions of players."

Previously, UEFN was supposed to release last year. It was quietly pushed back. Also, even though Fortnite's original creative mode was available on multiple platforms, this new one is exclusive to PC users.

The beginning of the future is built together.
