Epic Games explains how new policy will work
Epic Games detailed that the new guidelines will also apply to third-party content creators. They will reportedly be required to fill out a basic form when launching new islands or updates.
The classification of projects will begin from October 16th. Those who do not meet this requirement by November 14th will be automatically removed.
Furthermore, Epic Games stated that the new ranking system for “Fortnite“, developed in partnership with IARC, will affect Parental Control filters. This will give parents more options to identify islands suitable for younger players and greater control over what is currently offered.

The company’s ultimate goal is to transform “Fortnite” into a true multiverse, which will impact the way it makes available and monetizes its gaming tools. creation.
This process of changes culminated in the company’s recent decision to reduce its staff.
