ORLANDO, Fla. – Fortnite creators will soon have a lot more toys to play with in Unreal Editor in Fortnite (UEFN).
At the State of Unreal keynote today at Unreal Fest 2025, Epic Games announced a slew of new intellectual-property assets for the popular level creation tool. Content from the hit Netflix show Squid Game will be coming to UEFN on June 27 alongside the release of the series finale. Creators will also get to use features, templates, and assets from Avatar: The Last Airbender next year.
Star Wars will also be added to UEFN at a future date and allow players to tell their own stories in the Star Wars universe. And fresh off the heels of the (controversial) inclusion of an AI-powered Darth Vader that responds to players’ conversations in Fortnite, Epic revealed that creators will be able to make their own responsive AI characters using the new Persona Device in UEFN.
This isn’t the first time Fortnite creators have had access to licensed IP materials. Last year, Epic Games added Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to UEFN, and most recently added The Walking Dead.
The company also revealed that the Epic Digital Assistant, an AI feature that helps developers write lines of code in Verse (the programming language used in UEFN) using prompts, is available now in beta on the Epic Developer Community site.
On the Fortnite Lego front, a new Lego Brick Editor is launching on June 17, which comes with 50 classic bricks in 42 different colors, allowing people to build new islands brick-by-brick.
Since the launch of UEFN in 2023, Epic Games said that players have spent more than 11.2 billion hours across 260,000 user-made islands. About $722 million has been paid out to creators as a result.
Disclosure: Epic Games paid my way to Unreal Fest.
