Overview
- Star Wars assets are live in Unreal Editor for Fortnite today for building, with publishing through the Creator Portal opening on May 1.
- The toolkit includes characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia and The Mandalorian, over 25 weapons, rideable and pilotable vehicles, scene galleries, and licensed music.
- New systems enable custom lightsabers, expanded Force powers, a crafting workbench, vehicle tuning, and NPC conversations, with first-person weapon support planned before publishing begins.
- Epic and Disney released exemplar islands set on Hoth, Tatooine and Nevarro, and fan-made maps will get a dedicated Star Wars Game Collection in Discover as Epic anticipates thousands of new islands.
- Creators are paid by player engagement with a 20% share to Disney for islands using Star Wars assets, players can jump in as Star Wars characters without buying skins, and submissions must follow Star Wars brand rules.
