Talisman Environment Template

This page is a companion to the Talisman: Environment template, which showcases the best practices for creating highly detailed, realistic environments. The Talisman is created using modular construction and optimization best practices in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

You can find the template in the Feature Examples section of the Project Browser.

You can play the Talisman experience shown during the 2024 Game Developers Conference by opening Fortnite and entering island code 7100-3544-3074.
