Build a UEFN Experience with Fortnite Creative 2.0 - Complete Project

Course Overview

Course Overview

This course walks you from blank UEFN project to a fully shippable Fortnite Creative 2.0 experience, with a focus on practical workflows you can repeat for future maps and live events.

You will plan your experience like a real live game team, build core gameplay with Verse and UEFN tools, and learn how to iterate safely as you test with friends and early players.

What You’ll Learn

  • Design a scoped, shippable Fortnite experience that fits your schedule.
  • Set up UEFN, link your Epic accounts, and configure a reliable project workspace.

  • Playtest, gather feedback, and refine your experience for retention and discovery.
  • Prepare your experience for publishing, updates, and live ops in the Fortnite ecosystem.
