Yep. For decades, developers have used computer tools to make games for computers. And now that computer tools are finally getting really good, they want developers to forego the good new tools and stick with the old worse tools.
I’m so excited to see what kinds of games & genres this opens up! Already seeing some super creative stuff floating around.
Submit your Creature-based islands from June 26 through July 13 for a chance to be featured in limited-time rows in Discover once publishing opens on July 23.
We’re looking for islands that:
🐾 Deliver an immersive creature experience
👯 Support gameplay that’s best with friends
🚀 Provide clear onboarding for players.

So awesome to see. Nice work, guys!
Many months ago we set out to take Fortnite back to its Battle Royale roots - where every match would feel different, to give the game a quality of life update, and respect what has made Fortnite, Fortnite. I’m left both in awe and hugely proud of this team, and while the new Chapter is only just beginning - it’s great to start it by seeing such positivity from the community. Thank you for the feedback, we’re working our way through all of it - here’s to the future 🫡 🤝
What did you name your Sidekick?
Ever since Chapter 1 we had a dream for these to come to life. We love them, and we hope you love them too.

Fortnite is BACK on the App Store in the U.S. on iPhones and iPads... and on the Epic Games Store and AltStore in the E.U! It’ll show up in Search soon!

We will return Fortnite to the US iOS App Store next week.
Epic puts forth a peace proposal: If Apple extends the court's friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework worldwide, we'll return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic.

In @MustardPlays @LEGOFortnite build challenge I made a fully functional Ferris wheel!
Super happy with how this turned out, even if the process to get it working was super scuffed lol. Thanks Mustard for having me! #LEGOFortnite

We made some more tweaks to LEGO Fortnite :)
👹 Nerfed Brute's poison attack and Frost Scorpion's explosion.
🕷 Critters have less health, and Spiders under rocks are more rare.
🐑 Petting rams drops Heavy Wool.
🥏 Grapplers can be used 30 times!
⛏ More durability fixes!
Yesterday we let you know we buffed the max durability of all tools and weapons by +30%, but we found an issue.
Rare and Epic tools and weapons weren't buffed enough. We've fixed this and you will now see their durability increased by 60% over what it was previously 🙌

⛏ Builders - we've heard your feedback and have buffed the max durability of all tools and weapons by +30%!
Please note, items you've already crafted may appear more damaged, since we increased the max durability they have.
Newly crafted items will have the new, higher max!
