Star Wars is coming to Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), which will allow creators to build their own experiences for all to play!
Fortnite's inaugural Star Wars-themed season concludes in just a few days. However, Epic Games has confirmed that players will soon have the opportunity to build Star Wars experiences in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
This announcement was made during the State of Unreal 2025, which also included other revelations regarding the future of the game's UEFN toolset. That means, at a future date to be determined, creators can utilize Lightsabers, Force Abilities, and more in creative maps.
Everything we know about Star Wars in Fortnite's UEFN creator
Epic Games did not divulge much information regarding Star Wars assets being available in Fortnite Creative. However, it's worth speculating that Epic will include the various environments, weapons, and other items present in the Galactic Battle season.
For example, creators may have the opportunity to offer Lightsabers, Blasters, and potentially even Force Abilities in their hand-crafted UEFN maps. If this were the case, the possibilities would be endless. Creators could theoretically build Lightsaber dueling maps and other spins on already-established ideas.
Unlike the Squid Game announcement, Epic did not specify when the Star Wars assets would be available to map makers. The official FNCreate account indicated "more to come soon," which could mean anything.
