'Fortnite' Adding Deathmatch-style UEFN Island Based on Gundam: Requiem For Vengeance Netflix Anime Series - Trailer

Fortnite is an expansive original world that invites players to be creative, resourceful and collaborative, combining building skills and destructible environments with intense PvP combat.

In Fortnite, players and their friends lead a group of Heroes to reclaim and rebuild a homeland that has been left empty by a mysterious darkness only known as “the Storm.”

Players will band together online to explore the world for resources, build extravagant forts, find or build insane weapons and traps as they protect their towns from the strange monsters that emerge during the Storm.

Fortnite Battle Royale is the FREE 100-player PvP mode in Fortnite. One giant map. A battle bus.

The last one standing wins.

Bandai Namco and Look North World are creating a UEFN Island within Fortnite to celebrate the upcoming Netflix anime series Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance.

The game will be a free activation within Fortnite, where players participate in a Team Deathmatch-style game in the Fortnite universe. Started by one of the founding members of Bungie, the creators of Halo, Look North World leverages new and emerging creator platforms, like UEFN and Curseforge, to build games for millions of existing players. The Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance game is intended to release shortly after the Netflix debut of the Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance anime, free to all 300 million-plus Fortnite players. 

“Working with Look North World to help bring Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance to life as a game within Fortnite has been a wonderful experience,” said Karim Farghaly, senior vice president of corporate development for Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “Their ability to create exciting games for millions of fans and players on Creator Platforms like Fortnite is limitless, and adapting the upcoming Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance anime to a thrilling Team Deathmatch game highlights the power of Unreal Engine and the ingenuity and skill of Look North World. We can’t wait for Gundam fans to begin their Fortnite battles.” 

Coming to Netflix on Oct. 17, Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance was animated entirely within Unreal Engine 5, and Look North World used the officially licensed assets to create an exciting new Team Deathmatch experience within Fortnite. During matches, players will power up their faction’s respective Mobile Suits by collecting points and assists for their team. Once powered up, a pilot is chosen from each team to unleash the awesome destructive power of their team’s Mobile Suit – the Gundam EX for the EFSF or the ZAKU II (Unidentified Type) Solari for the Zeon forces, helping their teams turn the tide of battle and securing victory. 

“By building Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance within UEFN, we are able to combine the familiar team-based and competitive play of Fortnite with the power of Gundam. This approach allows us to deliver a unique, social, and fun experience to all Fortnite players. We are excited to partner with Bandai Namco Entertainment to bring the iconic Gundam universe to life in this new, interactive format,” said Alex Seropian, Founder and CEO of Look North World.

The Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance game will be available on every platform that Fortnite is available on PC, consoles, and Android phones, and is intended to release shortly after the Oct. 17 debut of the animated series on Netflix. Watch the most recent trailer for the anime series here.

Fortnite is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Android and iOS.
