Dubai set to get a Fortnite World

Dubai Developed in Fortnite 2033 launches next week and will allow players worldwide to explore Al Fahidi Fort, Kite Beach, Dubai Harbour and other landmarks.

Dubai is set to launch a new interactive gaming experience within Fortnite on 11 November, allowing players around the world to explore a digital recreation of the emirate’s landmarks, attractions and cultural destinations.

Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has partnered with gaming company Wild Unlimited to introduce Dubai Developed in Fortnite 2033, an open-world gaming environment featuring exploration, competitive challenges and team-based objectives.

The experience has been independently developed by Wild Unlimited using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), a development platform that allows creators to build and publish custom experiences within Fortnite.

The first edition will feature a range of Dubai landmarks and destinations, including Al Fahidi Fort, Almas Tower, Uptown Dubai, Skydive Dubai, Deep Dive Dubai, Kite Beach Dubai, SALT, Dubai Harbour, X-Dubai and the American University in Dubai.

Additional destinations, gameplay features and opportunities for creators and commercial partners are planned for future editions.

The initiative is intended to support Dubai’s ambitions to expand its gaming industry while creating new ways to promote the emirate internationally.
