Fortnite, the immensely popular third-person shooter game, is set to introduce a first-person mode in an upcoming update. This announcement was made during Epic’s State of Unreal event, where they unveiled a public roadmap for the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. This new feature will allow players to experience the action up close and personal, taking on adversaries like Peter Griffin and Solid Snake in a whole new way.
The introduction of a first-person mode in Fortnite has been a highly requested feature by the community. Epic acknowledged the demand for this option and teased players with a snippet of gameplay showcasing the new perspective. While the standard battle royale mode may not be fully accessible in first-person, creators will have the ability to implement this mode in custom maps and gameplay modes.
In addition to the first-person mode, other exciting updates are on the way for Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Players can look forward to using Fall Guys’ beans in custom obstacle courses, a custom track editor for Rocket Racing mode, in-game trading, proximity chat similar to Lethal Company, and the creation of Lego minigames based on recent Lego modes. The addition of destructible environments in a physics sandbox will also provide new opportunities for immersive gameplay experiences.
UEFN has also incorporated support for MetaHuman, a technology that allows for the creation of photorealistic digital humans. This integration opens up possibilities for developers to create realistic-looking levels and characters within the game. With the potential for enhanced visual fidelity, Fortnite players can expect even more immersive gameplay experiences in the future.
Exciting Developments in the Gaming Industry
At the State of Unreal event, Epic also showcased Uncharted director Amy Hennig’s new superhero game, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. This game, utilizing the power of the Unreal Engine, promises stunning visuals and engaging gameplay. As the gaming industry continues to push boundaries and innovate, players can look forward to new and exciting experiences in their favorite games, such as Fortnite.
