Custom Map-Designing Features

'Fortnite' Creative Mode Lets Players Design Custom Maps and Games

Known simply as 'Fortnite' Creative, this new feature to the game will let players create their own custom maps using an extensive collection of creation tools. Functioning similarly to 'Minecraft's' Creative mode, and other sandbox toolkits, 'Fortnite' Creative lets players design custom maps and games. These maps and games can then be played by other gamers.

Based on early videos and tutorial videos, it is clear that 'Fortnite's' existing tool system will be used in 'Fortnite' Creative mode. The release of this mode feels like a natural progression of the existing Playground mode, which has already given players a more relaxed way to enjoy the game. The Creative mode will also expand the capabilities of the game, as players now have more control over where and how their battles take place.
