A much-anticipated feature for Fortnite has encountered additional delays, with the introduction of custom weapons through the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) now postponed further. Epic Games' immensely popular battle royale title continuously expands with diverse game modes and spin-offs, keeping players engaged. Fortnite regularly introduces fresh twists on its core gameplay, including limited-time modes such as Blitz Royale and Ballistic, alongside full standalone experiences like LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing. Despite these innovations, one mode has remained a community favorite since its introduction.

"Fortnite Creative" has consistently ranked among the game's most beloved modes since its debut in 2018. True to its name, Creative empowers players by providing them with Fortnite's development tools, enabling the creation of unique game modes and mini-games within the battle royale framework. The 2023 launch of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite significantly expanded creative possibilities, allowing PC creators to import custom assets and content into their Fortnite projects. Unfortunately, enthusiasts must now wait longer for one particularly requested feature.

According to VideoGamer, Fortnite has again delayed the rollout of a long-awaited UEFN capability. A revelation from prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX indicates that custom weapons integration into UEFN has been rescheduled for early 2026. The update also mentioned further postponements related to Fortnite's custom game modes, with both custom items and the new physics engine now expected in late 2025. Epic Games has not provided an official statement regarding these delays.

This recent delay marks not the first time Epic Games has pushed back the popular custom weapons feature. Originally planned for launch on Fortnite's Unreal Editor in late 2024, the feature was initially rescheduled for 2025 before this latest setback. The continued postponement has generated significant negative feedback from eager fans, with some expressing concerns that the feature might never fully materialize.

This disappointing news for Fortnite's creative community arrives alongside the successful launch of Chapter 6 Season 4, which brought substantial new content to the game. Epic Games introduced multiple new weapons and vehicles as part of the Season 4 update, including the Precision Air Strike and Hammerhead Choppa. Fortnite has also unveiled several crossover collaborations during the season's early stages, most recently adding skins inspired by One Punch Man. Supporters of Fortnite's Creative mode can only hope that custom weapons won't experience additional delays.
