Bad guys beware, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are loose in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN)! With new TMNT assets, you can now build action-packed experiences featuring your favorite characters, environments, and props from the TMNT universe. Whether you're creating an epic battle in the streets of New York City or designing the ultimate training dojo in the sewers, UEFN gives you the power to make games using one of the best-known franchises of all time.
There are three custom templates, a full roster of TMNT characters, and an extensive selection of TMNT-themed prefabs and galleries when you create a project using the base maps found under Brands > TMNT. Each asset is designed to fit seamlessly within the Fortnite ecosystem, giving your projects that signature TMNT vibe.
You can access the assets from the TMNT folder in the Content Browser of UEFN and the Creative inventory in-game.
After creating, playtesting, and perfecting your island, you'll be ready to share your vision with the world! Make sure your island aligns with the TMNT Brand and Creator Rules before you publish.
TMNT Island Templates
Take your experiences to the next level! Explore the Arcade, Dimension X Starter, and City Starter templates. Each template is designed and built to spark your imagination and have you saying Cowabunga!
The Dimension X Starter island provides an out-of-this world landscape that is the perfect starting point for building multi-dimensional TMNT adventures. Sculpt the barren landscape and place pools of ooze underneath the swirling skies of outer space.
The Arcade template showcases a throwback Arcade side scroller game featuring classic TMNT foes, environment obstacles and custom player user interfaces. The Arcade tutorial walks you through setting up each element of gameplay to deliver a fun and engaging experience to players.
The City Starter template brings the razzle dazzle by using different visual techniques to evoke the TMNT universe in all its cartoony glory. The tutorial teaches you how to use game design elements like level design, post processing, and custom lighting to make your experience more visually sophisticated.
