While Dark and Darker is still in legal limbo, a sole creator is working on bringing the popular fantasy RPG to a new platform: Fortnite.
This sole developer comes from Fern, a UK-based software engineer who posted a video of their work-in-process project to the Fortnite Creative Reddit. Caught up in the recent tech industry layoffs, they decided to "chill for a bit" and work on personal projects. Thus, the Dark and Darker map.
"The project started back when UEFN didn't even exist. I believe I started with this idea in Jan 2023. I'd been updating myself on Unreal Engine 5 as I'd done multiple projects with Unreal Engine 4 and wanted to be on the latest version to use nanite, lumen and all the great tech from Epic."
