Epic has announced it’s introducing individual age ratings for all playable first- and third-party content in Fortnite as part of what it calls its evolution into a “multi-game ecosystem”.
Third-party developed content in Fortnite has become an increasing focus for Epic in recent times, and the company introduced its Unreal Editor for Fortnite tools – also known as Creative 2.0 – back in March. These enable creators to bring fully fledged Unreal Editor experiences into Fortnite, complete with custom assets, animations, audio, and advanced VFX effects, in a bid to turn the game into a creator-led platform closer to the likes of Roblox.
And now, as its “multi-game ecosystem” ambitions grow, Epic has announced it’ll be making age ratings mandatory for all first- and third-party playable experiences in Fortnite as of 14th November this year.
