Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world. Its fast-paced battle royale gameplay and its constantly evolving world are well-known. However, recently, there has been a new trend in the game that has been catching players’ attention – paranormal horror games. These games have been created by the Fortnite UEFN (Unreal Engine for Fortnite). Epic Games recently launched UEFN, a feature that enables players to use assets from different stores to create custom games.

In a recent tweet, popular eSports journalist Jake Lucky showcased an upcoming paranormal horror game in Fortnite. The developers built the game using the Unreal Engine for Fortnite. The gameplay displayed perfectly encapsulates the eerie environment of a horror game. The idea of horror games in Fortnite may seem strange at first. This is because the game is primarily known for its competitive multiplayer gameplay. However, the game’s Creative 2.0 mode is allowing players to create their own custom maps and game modes. This has led to a wave of new and unique experiences being created within the game. The UEFN has taken this idea and run with it, creating custom games that are designed to scare and thrill players.

The Unreal Editor is a powerful tool that allows players to create maps from scratch or modify existing maps in Fortnite. People have used this tool to create everything from simple obstacle courses to complex puzzle games and immersive worlds. The only limit is the player’s imagination and creativity.

One of the most captivating aspects of custom maps created in Fortnite is their attention to detail. Some players design maps to resemble real-world locations, while others design them to be entirely fantastical. The attention to detail in the design and construction of these maps is impressive, with some featuring custom textures and props that add to the overall immersion of the experience.

Creating a custom map using the Unreal Editor is not an easy task. It requires knowledge of level design, game mechanics, and programming. However, the rewards of creating a successful map can be immense. The Fortnite community can recognize players who create successful maps, and the game’s official rotation includes some maps created by these players.
