Wizards of the Coast partnered with two leading Fortnite island creators, Chartis and Teravision Games, to release five Dungeons & Dragons inspired islands built with Epic’s Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). The initiative was presented as a launch and learn experiment to bring the spirit of D&D homebrew to Fortnite players and to gather feedback on new ways to engage audiences.

The five playable islands span multiple play styles and aim to give both longtime D&D players and Fortnite creators new tools for collaborative play. The islands are DnD Boxfights (1190-4691-0255), DnD Treasure RNG (4958-2624-5634), DnD Dungeon Deathrun (5806-6430-0158), DnD Bossfight (2218-1049-5866), and DnD Zombie Dragon Adventure (2525-9596-3235), with the last listed as early access. Together these maps cover a social hub, a PvP arena, a platformer, a co-op boss fight, and a large co-op roguelike experience, and they include nods to established D&D locales such as the Yawning Portal and the Spine of the World along with familiar foes for players to face.

Players can jump into any map through Fortnite’s Discover menu by searching the island name or entering the island code. Using the Discover menu keeps the barrier low for pickup groups and table-top converts who want to sample an encounter without installing additional mods. The UEFN foundation gives creators freedom to prototype mechanics that echo D&D sessions - encounters, loot progression, and group roles - inside Fortnite’s engine, offering a playground for DMs and designers to test how classic role-playing loops translate to live service play.

Chartis and Teravision Games bring creator credibility; both have built audiences inside Fortnite and understand how to tune maps for immediate fun and replayability. For D&D players the islands are a practical way to scout visual inspiration, rehearse setpiece encounters, or host quick virtual sessions with party members who already play Fortnite. For creators the release is a visible experiment in cross-pollinating tabletop design with level design and player-driven feedback loops.

Published January 20, 2026, this push also signals a broader interest from Wizards of the Coast in meeting players where they already socialize and game. Expect iterative updates if player feedback highlights balance issues, technical fixes, or new hooks creators can use. Jump into the Discover menu, load an island with the codes above, and treat these maps as mini playtests for your next homebrew campaign or a quick one-shot with a party of friends.
