Hey Folks, we’ve got some updates on some key features from the FN Creator Roadmap you should be aware of:
General Physics (Beta) will now be shipping in Q4 2025 so we can make sure it’s working as it should. We’ll focus on refining character movement, improving device behaviors and general fixes in order to make that happen.
Additionally, Skill-Based Matchmaking is being shifted from Q3 to Q4 2025 so it can align with upcoming foundational improvements to the matchmaking service.
Ranged Weapons Experimental release is moving to Q1 2026. However, Custom Game Items Experimental, which serves as the foundation for Ranged Weapons will still launch this year in Q4.
Another aspect shifting to Q1 2026 will be Spectator improvements, this is to accommodate a redesign system that better aligns with the long-term development strategy for UEFN.
We’re making these adjustments to ensure the best possible experience during the Experimental phase. For more info on the Creator Roadmap updates, we have an EDC thread set up here: https://t.co/frMsxJKg7h

What’s the point of making a roadmap if you never meet the release estimates?
The fact that you are ONLY NOW warning us about delays for things that were supposed to come out in less than 30 days ruins some people’s plans for maps/updates.
I can understand delays happen, but you’re handling them badly and way too often.

@FNCreate Thanks for the feedback appreciate the candor. Do you think the constant delay is a lack of prioritization in resourcing from Epic Games? Would hiring more developers help speed up the process? I mean the original 1971 Oregon Trail still has more buttons than we do now. https://t.co/JXd2SIvWrL

@FNCreate Some of y’all are too upset. Development takes time, especially to rigorously test to avoid introducing horrible bugs.

@FNCreate Dude what's the point of the roadmap if the dates are never accurate, so frustrating how y'all keep pushing stuff back when we're all excited for the supposedly imminent release
Just get rid of the estimated launch timings and just categorize stuff based on what they are

@Gneazyx @FNCreate If Fortnite wants to compete with Roblox they need to hire more people to get these much needed updates done on time.

@Code_Dux @FNCreate Yes, I totally agree, seeing that we have to wait another ~6 months to get custom weapons is insane
At the moment, there is not 1% chance that Fortnite will be a real competitor to Roblox

I wonder if some of the cool IP's coming to Fortnite UEFN could help push some of these -should be awesome- features over the finish line? (ATLA: bending with physics sounds awesome!)
Love the IP UEFN tie-ins, but at the same time we have gotten so many delays on awesome features that are important too.

@FNCreate Thanks for the update. One thought for the future, when a delay occurs, maybe share a bit more details about what we are getting. Summary info here is better than nothing, but go further. e.g. delay on Spectator to allow new Spectator slots to be added along Player slots.

@Gneazyx @FNCreate This just shows how lack of planning really is internally, like i get it stuff can delay but this is too much man. They should just delete the roadmap for good at least it won't give us false hopes anymore.

@SupremeUEFN @FNCreate Fr, the good thing about this roadmap is that we at least know what they’re working on and will add later. But instead of constantly delaying, they should just set broader dates. I’d rather see a tool/feature/device released earlier than expected than the other way around

@FNCreate My millionth message. Please let us have an option to keep the old lighting. Just check out how it was and how it became. The lighter one is the original. The one that looks like it's on fire is the new lighting that we can't escape. https://t.co/UNyq5ey20z
