Skydome and Legacy Time of Day Manager Deprecation Coming Soon

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

This change affects any island currently using the Skydome device to create custom lighting. After deprecation, 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 – ignoring any previous Skydome settings.

Important: After this change, you will no longer be able to publish new islands or republish existing ones using the Skydome device.

To ensure a smooth transition and maintain your island’s visual quality, we strongly recommend converting your islands to the new TODM using the Day Sequence device before the v35.00 relea...

Creators can now fully immerse players in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) islands like never before! New characters — Krang, Casey Jones, Bebop, and Rocksteady — join the fight, and all TMNT Outfits, including Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, are now compatible with the Character, NPC Spawner, and Guard devices. That means custom animations, NPC behaviors, and full-blown cinematics are all in your hands.

Plus, explore the new Dimension X Starter Island template featuring the Technodrome prefab, updated landscape materials, VFX, and a space-inspired skybox.

Get ready to jump back in the action – TMNT Dimensions 2 [ROGUELIKE] launches April 24th!

Could you let me know if this still happens after today's update?

The Armored Transport from Fortnite Battle Royale is now available for creators! The vehicle features a bank vault that players can crack open for loot. You’ll also find the Rebel’s Roost Prefabs and Galleries, new tools for building Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles islands, and Guard NPCs from The Walking Dead Universe – now able to wield Lucille.

Final reminder: Be sure to update your UEFN and Fortnite Creative islands to use the Chapter 5 Time of Day Manager (TODM) lighting system and Day Sequence device. The legacy Time of Day Manager and Skydome device will be retired with the v35.00 update on May 2, 2025. This change impacts any island using the Skydome device for custom lighting.

Important: After this update, you won’t be able to publish new islands or republish existing ones that still use the Skydome device. Make sure to back up your island before upgrading, so you use it as a visual reference to help recreate or match the original look if needed.

We are aware that some creators are unable to start a session in UEFN.

Creators may also be receiving cooking errors when trying to push changes to UEFN islands, and players trying to join UEFN islands may receive matchmaking errors.

We are looking into these issues and will provide an update when we have more information or a fix.

Things should be getting back to normal. There may be a little queue to go through.

Hey folks, we're checking into this.

We’re experimenting with a new row in Discover called Today’s Picks for You. Starting today, a percentage of players globally will see Today’s Picks for You in Discover. The test will run for about 2 weeks and will help us gather feedback and evaluate results before considering a wider rollout.

Today’s Picks for You is a daily row that algorithmically highlights islands with strong attraction, engagement, and satisfaction with more than 5,000 unique players in the last four days.

We’ll review the row’s performance and keep you updated on any future changes.

Creators are now able to adjust how matchmaking queues behave on their islands in public matches. Check out the release notes for more details and a link to documentation.

Negan is now available as a Character in the NPC Spawner. Also in The Walking Dead Universe, the Shiva Shotgun now has a flashlight. Watch out for those dark corners!

The update also brings us weapons from Fortnite Battle Royale. The Guided Missile, Dragon’s Breath Shotgun, and Zapotron all make an appearance!

Additionally, you’ll find updates to the Item Spawner, Reboot Van and Rift Point Volume devices.
