Andre said it best🙌I am beyond proud of our team for seeing this awesome vision through in partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm!! And I am immensely excited to see what amazing games you all cook up with this incredible IP. Still pinching myself!✨

"WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET STAR WARS?"

This has been the #1 question I’ve received from Fortnite developers since we launched our IP program in UEFN at GDC 2024. From every conversation, one thing was clear: everyone has a Star Wars story they want to tell.

Well... it’s officially here! As of yesterday, developers have access to a massive Star Wars toolkit in UEFN! It combines years of iconic functionality from Battle Royale with a staggering amount of brand-new assets and functionality.

🔥 Epic Scale: Full biomes (Hoth, Tatooine, Nevarro), over 25 weapons, and iconic vehicles—including the N1 Starfighter (my personal favorite), X-wings, and TIE fighters.
💥 Deep Customization: A new Hero system, custom lightsaber building, and standalone Force powers via Scene Graph and Verse.

Star Wars is the IP nearest and dearest to my heart; it’s the lore that made it clear I would be a "nerd for life". This moment is beyond words. A huge thank you to the leaders at Epic who drove this from start to finish.

Special thanks to our partners at Disney and Lucasfilm for having such a deep ethos to unlock a wide creative palette and being so focused on the developer experience!!

I cannot wait for see what this community publishes for the world to play! 🌌✨

Today was devastating 😭 feeling so much for my talented friends & colleagues who've been affected by the Epic layoffs announced today. I don't use Twitter much so have little RT power, but if you need any help job hunting, proofreading CVs, referrals and so on, I've got you.

Name that fighting game song / character? (no.4)

@Daily_FG_Music @lisa_rec

I had to redo this one so many times, probably because it's quite long. Amazing track though.

[RetroMusicDan 🎸(dang0)🕹️ @RetroMusicDan]

Can you name that fighting game song just from this melody?

Hope it makes a return in the new Melty Blood
