Fortnite has a mode in which players can change the appearance of the island and edit the rules. The developers at Epic Games decided to make it more flexible and expand the section with the addition of the Unreal Engine editor.
This will allow users to change or add skins to Fortnite, change textures while casting, or add new particles. Note, only on PC is the ability to create new mods available. However, with updates it is possible to play on all gaming platforms.
The most interesting thing in the editor is behind the “Unload project” button. With its help, you can send your masterpiece to the “cloud” of the game and add it right during the match. The changes will be noticed by all friends who are on the same server with you.
Moreover, it is planned to add a system of scripts, with their help it will be possible to change the parameters also during the match. As a result, each player can bring something unique that will differ from the creative thought of the developers. For example, a game can combine photorealism with the cartoonish art of the original.
An Epic spokesperson commented on the update. He assured that this became possible thanks to the transition to the new Unreal Engine 5. According to the plan, the transition should take place in 2021.
