A leaked video shows off Fortnite\u2019s newest addition: A creative mode where players can create their own islands and craft their own game modes, environments and obstacle courses. Players can also select the items, weapons and traps they\u2019d like to spawn.<\/b>
\nFortnite players will soon have the ability to create and customize their own islands where they can build terrain, structures and obstacles courses, then battle each other in a variety of game types. Epic confirmed that the new creative mode will be coming soon, launching alongside season seven of the game.
News of the mode was first leaked by a YouTuber named Lachlan, who indicated that the feature will be released later this week. While Lachlan has pulled his video, Fortnite Intel broke down all the details from his hands-on clip. We\u2019ve reached out to Epic Games for confirmation, but have yet to hear back at the time of publication.
The mode will reportedly give players the ability to visit islands featured by Epic Games and the islands of their friends, or let players build their own. You will be able to fly over your environment while creating the island in order to get from place to place quicker, and edits will be made using what looks like a cell phone in your character\u2019s hand. Judging from the description of the clip, it sounds as if players will be given a large number of options for how they\u2019d like to edit their island, including the ability to move, copy and erase items. Each island reportedly has a memory limit to make sure it\u2019s not over-stuffed with structures.
You\u2019ll be able to adjust the game\u2019s rules on your island, with these options seen in the leaked video:
Game
Teams
Time Limit
Spawn Location
Starting Health
Infinite Ammo
Infinite Resources
Pick Axe Building Damage
Drop Items When Eliminated
Fall Damage
Gravity
Player Names & Location
Respawn Height
Down But Not Out
Island Edit Permission
Players can also select the items, weapons and traps they\u2019d like to spawn, giving them a large palette from which to create new modes and ways to play. Play begins when you select \u201cstart mini-game,\u201d and any destruction that takes place during each round won\u2019t carry over into creative mode; your island can be used over and over with friends or strangers. Players will also be given a wide variety of pre-fabricated structures and obstacle courses to use in their creation.
Update: Epic Games confirmed creative mode, which is called Fortnite Creative. It will launch alongside the season seven battle pass.<\/p>\n
