Tim Sweeney on The Future of Fortnite and AI Game Development

We sat down with Tim Sweeney, Founder and CEO of Epic Games, and Saxs Persson, EVP of Fortnite Ecosystem, to discuss the future of Fortnite. From Unreal Engine 5.6 to the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, allowing AI‑powered developer tools and access to IPs such as LEGO, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars, and more. With further AI‑assisted updates arriving to Fortnite, Tim discusses whether or not the next Breath of the Wild or GTA could really be made with AI, as well as what AI game development means for the future of Epic. With Star Wars Unreal Engine for Fortnite and the Unreal Editor for Fortnite Lego Update, Fortnite is bigger than ever, and both Tim and Saxs discuss what's next after Unreal Fest 2025.
