Fortnite Opens the Galaxy With Official Star Wars Creator Tools This Week
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Epic Games is launching official Star Wars creator tools in Fortnite this Thursday, March 19, alongside the next major season update following Disney's massive 2024 investment.
Fortnite is finally handing the keys to the galaxy over to its community. According to a report by IGN South Africa, creators will soon be able to build and publish their own officially licensed Star Wars minigames inside the platform. The long-awaited toolset goes live on Thursday, March 19, arriving right alongside the launch of the game's next major battle royale season.
This update marks a massive milestone in the ongoing partnership between Epic Games and Disney. Fans have anticipated these creation tools ever since Disney announced a massive 1.5 billion dollar investment in Epic back in 2024 with the goal of building a persistent entertainment universe. Instead of just buying skins in the item shop, players will now have the power to design interactive Star Wars experiences using official assets and mechanics.
For creators and streaming communities, this opens up endless possibilities for custom maps, cooperative adventures, and community events. Fortnite continues to cement its transition from a traditional battle royale into a sprawling platform where user generated content reigns supreme. If the upcoming season lives up to the leaks, which also point toward major crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog and other gaming icons, builders are going to have more tools than ever to keep players hooked.
