Fortnite Creative Mode to Feature Collaboration Items, Leak Suggests

Fortnite is reportedly expanding its Creative mode to allow creators to build maps using collaboration items, according to a recent leak. Previously, creators faced significant repercussions for using copyrighted content in Fortnite Creative, but this restriction appears to be lifting soon.

Fortnite is renowned for its high-profile collaborations, and the current season continues this trend. Fans were surprised by the Fallout collaboration announcement, followed by an exciting partnership with Pirates of the Caribbean. As anticipation builds for future releases from Epic Games, it seems that past collaborations might be making a comeback.

A new leak by prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX indicates that players may soon be able to revisit their favorite collaborations in Fortnite. The leak suggests that Fortnite is preparing to introduce a feature that will allow collab items to be added to Creative mode. While it’s unclear how many collaborations will be included initially, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is mentioned as the first supported collaboration, with more likely to follow.

Impact on Fortnite Creators’ Revenue

However, there’s a caveat. Creators using collab items will need to share a portion of the revenue earned in Fortnite Creative with the respective IP owners. When asked about the number of collab weapons that might be added, HYPEX responded that the items would likely be introduced only after agreements with IP owners are finalized. This process might involve negotiating revenue shares and determining which items will be available.

Fortnite players are already compiling wishlists of collab items they hope to see included in this new feature. Unsurprisingly, items from the Marvel collaboration are highly sought after, with players eager for another chance to wield Stormbreaker or Iron Man’s gauntlets. If this feature becomes a reality, it will be interesting to see what limitations are placed on creators, as combining various collab items in a map could pose challenges with IP holders.
