Fortnite’s next big partnership with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is here. Epic Games already lets players dress up as the Turtles, and now, creators can publish experiences built with TMNT assets and the Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
As a demonstration of what’s possible, Paramount teamed up with Spiral House (which has made other Fortnite experiences), to make a TMNT-themed beat-em-up / roguelike, TMNT Dimensions [Rougelike], that you can play inside Fortnite right now. (You can find it by searching for code 8651-4809-2485.) A lot of user-made Fortnite experiences look somewhat amateur, but this seems like a game you might actually want to play outside of Fortnite, especially if you’re already a fan of TMNT’s other arcade-y brawlers.
Epic first revealed last month that the TMNT assets would be available for creators. The company is also going to let creators publish games with first-person camera modes starting in December, and all of the new options for creators could help Epic grow Fortnite as part of its ambitious plans for the rest of the decade.
Rapper Ice Spice has also officially joined the game as part of its remixed Chapter 2 season for battle royale. To help kick off the season, Ice Spice performed with Snoop Dogg in real life in Times Square.
