Fortnite creators can now make first-person shooters

Developers that build Fortnite experiences can now try out a new first-person camera mode. The feature will first be available as an experimental release in the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Later this year, the feature will launch in beta, and at that time, creators will be able to publish their experiences with first-person modes, Epic Games says.

For now, not everything a player does will stay in first person. Certain actions, including swimming, gliding, and skydiving, the player’s camera will change to third person, Epic writes in a blog post, and this is behavior that will remain when the first-person camera officially launches in beta.

Update, October 1st: Added X post from Epic Games.
