Fortnite Has Good News for Avatar: The Last Airbender Fans

Epic Games has announced that Avatar: The Last Airbender will be coming back to Fortnite as part of its Unreal Editor in 2026, allowing gamers to create their own custom worlds and experiences. Fortnite recently launched its Galactic Battle mini-season, which has featured its largest collaboration with Star Wars so far.

During the mini-season, Fortnite introduced an AI version of Darth Vader, which allows players to have full conversations with the Sith Lord in the middle of a match. It would seem as if Epic Games will be expanding this technology in the future, as it was recently announced that creators will be given new AI tools to bring characters and worlds to life through the Unreal Editor.

In a recent post on Twitter, Epic Games confirmed that Avatar: The Last Airbender will be coming to Fortnite for another collaboration, but it won’t be the same as the first time. Instead, creators will be given tools to use in Unreal Editor that will allow them to create their own Avatar: The Last Airbender experiences in Fortnite. During the State of Unreal presentation on June 3, Epic Games said that the tools were being put in the hands of creators due to popular demand, indicating that the first collaboration between the two franchises was a major success. While Epic Games didn’t announce a firm release date, it did tell players that they can expect to gain access to these tools sometime in 2026.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Coming to Unreal Editor in Fortnite

The State of Unreal presentation was packed with information about the future of the popular battle royale and even touched on the future of Star Wars in Fortnite. While Epic Games didn’t provide a firm timeline, it did state that Star Wars will also be coming to the Unreal Editor, allowing gamers to craft their own experiences using items, weapons, characters, and locations. It’s part of an ambitious initiative to expand Fortnite‘s platform and put more control in the hands of gamers everywhere.

There has been some discussion within the community about just how successful Fortnite‘s Galactic Battle mini-season has been. While many fans of the iconic franchise have been enthusiastic about the mini-season, it would seem that the numbers tell a different story. According to various reports, Fortnite hit its lowest player count in the last two years during the month of May. Some people believe this could be due to the collaboration’s lack of success, but it would seem that the game’s player count has been steadily declining over the course of 2025. It’s likely Epic Games is hoping to reinvigorate the community with the launch of Chapter 6 Season 3 in the near future. Despite a few hiccups, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
