On June 5, 2026, Epic said Fortnite Sidekicks are now available as scriptable NPCs in Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fortnite Creative. The company says creators can customize how Sidekicks look, script behavior with Verse, and animate them. Epic’s post gives the details.
Publishing starts July 23
Epic says islands using Sidekicks will be eligible for publishing starting July 23, and those islands can qualify for a new creature-based Collection page as well as additional Discover featuring through Epic’s Picks and a Callout. The announcement also points creators to the forums for submission details.
- Sidekicks can be scripted in Verse.
- Creators can bring a player’s own Sidekick into an island.
- Epic says the new islands target creature-style genres.
