Epic is adding its hyperrealistic MetaHumans to Unreal Editor for Fortnite

While MetaHumans are the highlight, a couple of other notable features are coming as well. Epic says that UEFN will be getting more camera options later this year, including a much-requested first-person perspective. Additionally, UEFN will be getting “physics sandbox gameplay,” which includes “the option to use physically-simulated characters in UEFN and Creative and simulate any static mesh.”

All of this news is part of Epic’s plan to turn Fortnite into more of a platform for games rather than a single title, with user-made titles making up a large part of that. Epic says that since 2023 more than 80,000 UEFN-built islands were published, joining first-party releases like Lego Fortnite and Fortnite Festival.
