‘The Walking Dead’ Invades ‘Fortnite’ Today as Part of Fortnite Creative [Trailer]

Fortnite has snagged another big name for itself in The Walking Dead, as players can now create islands with assets and content from The Walking Dead Universe using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Fortnite Creative. Available today, players and developers can now create using assets that feature the iconic, stylized heavy linework from the comics.

“This collaboration with Fortnite is an incredible opportunity to expand The Walking Dead in ways we’ve never imagined,” says The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. “Whether it’s Lucille smashing through hordes or simply the eerie presence of Walkers, I can’t wait to see where the Fortnite community’s creativity takes us.”

These spine-tingling pre-made assets, such as Walkers and the iconic Lucille Melee Weapon (wielded by the infamous Negan), can be used to build creative opportunities that range from horror to fast and furious action.

“With The Walking Dead Universe now a part of UEFN and Fortnite Creative, our creators have an incredible toolbox to draw from,” says Saxs Persson, Executive Vice President at Epic Games. “The combination of these iconic assets with our powerful toolset is going to unlock action-packed storytelling and gameplay.”

While the built-in toolset and assets are available in Fortnite to use today, creators will be able to publish their ‘The Walking Dead Universe’ games and experiences on May 16. These creations will then be immediately accessible and playable to anyone in Fortnite.
