Expand Your TMNT Storytelling in Fortnite with New UEFN Tools
The Fortnite Team
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) landed in UEFN last year, and now creators can tell bigger and more radical stories than ever before — thanks to the arrival of new iconic characters and locations that bring the TMNT universe to life!
With Krang, Casey Jones, Bebop, and Rocksteady characters now available, plus a brand-new Starter Island template, you’ve got all the ingredients to make an extra-large, action-packed adventure... just don’t forget the pizza!
That’s just the start. All TMNT Outfits — including Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo — are now fully compatible with the Character, NPC Spawner, and Guard devices. This means you can create custom behaviors, animations, and even full-blown cinematics with the turtles themselves.
The new Dimension X Starter Island template showcases the Technodrome Prefab and features new landscape materials, VFX, and a space-inspired skybox. This island is a blank canvas with no built-in gameplay, putting you in complete control over how you tell your next TMNT story.
You can also arm NPCs with the turtle’s signature weapons like katanas and nunchucks. Plus, we’ve introduced the ability to use graffiti textures to authentically bring any place on your island into the TMNT universe.
Survive as many arenas as possible, now featuring all-new battlegrounds set in Dimension X and Technodrome locations. There are four bosses to defeat — Shredder, Super Shredder, Rocksteady, and Bebop — and you’ll team up with seven allies, including Casey Jones, Splinter, April, and the Turtles, who’ve got your back with expanded, unique capabilities.
Players will also get access to new features including daily rewards, fresh enemy types, bonus rounds, and end-of-arena rewards to enhance their fighting adventures. Grab your katana, adventure awaits!
Cowabunga, creators — it’s time to shell out your biggest TMNT creations! Want to find out more about the new TMNT Outfits, features, and Starter Island template? Check out the updated Working with TMNT islands documentation.
Remember to stay tuned for TMNT Dimensions 2 [ROGUELIKE], coming hot on the heels of the v34.40 update in the coming days!
