Epic and Disney launch largest IP toolset to date, allowing devs to create Star Wars games in Fortnite
Epic Games and Disney have unveiled a comprehensive Star Wars creation toolkit for Fortnite, marking the platform’s largest IP-specific toolset to date. The initiative empowers developers and fans to create their own Star Wars-themed content within Fortnite’s creative ecosystem.
The toolkit is accessible through both Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Fortnite Creative mode, enabling creators to build themed islands from scratch or convert existing islands into Star Wars experiences. The asset library includes iconic Star Wars characters, vehicles, weapons, and locations sourced from previous Star Wars-themed Battle Royale seasons.
Epic has provided pre-built Star Wars templates and specialized gameplay features to streamline development. Notable additions include lightsaber mechanics and force power systems, allowing developers to authentically recreate signature Star Wars gameplay elements.
This collaboration expands Fortnite’s creator economy by leveraging community development to generate Star Wars content beyond official releases. The partnership enables fan-driven expansion of the game while strengthening Star Wars’ presence across interactive entertainment platforms. The initiative reflects Epic Games’ commitment to democratizing game development through accessible creation tools.
