Fortnite 34.40 Ecosystem Updates

The v34.40 update introduces the Armored Transport spawner from Fortnite Battle Royale,  Rebel’s Roost prefabs and galleries, and new characters and tools for those creating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles islands. Plus, don't forget to update your islands to the Chapter 5 Time of Day Manager before the legacy lighting system is retired on May 2!

Skydome and Legacy Time of Day Manager Will Be Deprecated at 35.00

This is your final reminder to update your UEFN and Fortnite Creative islands to the Chapter 5 Time of Day Manager (TODM) lighting system. The legacy Time of Day Manager and Skydome device will be retired with the v35.00 update on May 2, 2025.

This change affects islands currently using the Skydome device to create custom lighting. After the device is deprecated, all islands using the Skydome device will retain their gameplay, volume data, and positional data, but lighting will default to the Chapter 5 TODM lighting and ignore any settings used with the Skydome device.

If you have not done so already, upgrade your islands to use the Chapter 5 TODM system with the Day Sequence device. You can learn more about how to use the device effectively with the Day Sequence Starter Island Template.
