The landscape ofFortniteis changing. Personally, I’m a player who predominantly sticks to enjoying the battle royale mode. After all, that’s likely what springs to mind when you think ofFortnite- and yet, it’s no longer the game’s most popular mode.
Back in 2018, Creative mode was launched, allowing users to - you guessed it - create their own maps and minigames. It wasn’t exactly popular enough to knock the classic battle royale mode off the top spot, but that all changed when the revamped Unreal Editor forFortnite(UEFN) landed earlier this year. This updated take on Creative offers far more possibilities. You’ve likely heard of recent fan-made effortsOnlyUp FortniteandThe Fortnite Survival Games, both of which are drawing in thousands of players. With UEFN maps now drawing in more players than classic modes,Epic Gameshas outlined exactly how they’re going to crack down on age moderation.

This new system will begin rolling out on 14 November, with Epic saying that it’ll allow their “multi-game ecosystem” to continue to grow. The ratings will utilise the International Age Rating Coalition’s (IARC) process. Creators will submit a questionnaire and the IARC will issue region-specific ratings.
Parents will be able to lock maps with a certain age rating, prohibiting underage users from accessing UEFN created content that they currently will likely have unlimited access to.
