Epic Games is teaming up with Unity to support the popular game engine within Fortnite. Eventually, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said, this partnership will allow “all Unity games” to be published within Fortnite. That means even games that weren’t designed for Fortnite should work, and this move could pave the way for Epic to fully incorporate Fall Guys into Fortnite.
“Starting next year, Unity developers will be able to publish games directly into Fortnite to appear in Fortnite’s discovery system alongside games built with Unreal Engine and to participate in the Fortnite economy as it evolves towards an open metaverse economy connecting all users and all engines,” Sweeney said Wednesday at Unity’s Unite conference.
This is major news for developers, who will be able to make things for Fortnite without using Epic’s tools and may be able to import their existing games into Fortnite as well. And with the recent news that Epic will allow Creative maps to sell things for V-Bucks, these Unity devs might actually be able to sell their games in Fortnite.
