Bringing New Experiences & Content to Fortnight
MULTI-TIERED GOALS
Custom Maps & Islands
Our initial focus is on designing a variety of custom maps and islands that stand out in the Fortnite universe, blending existing assets and game mechanics with our unique creative vision. These maps are more than just playgrounds; they're gateways to new adventures, meticulously designed to foster unique experiences or fill a gap in existing content.
Each map is a hub where players can dive into challenges and explore with friends. Our aim is to enrich the Fortnite community with unique spaces that can enhance their experiences.
Our goal is to have our content be the ones players share and engage with the most.
Original Experiences
Fortnite will allow us to expand and innovate new experiences altogether. We are dedicated to developing custom experiences that venturing outside what players come to know as Fortnite, incorporating both established game mechanics and pioneering new ones.
This visionary approach allows us to introduce our own original IPs, laying the groundwork to build on these properties with new content, eventually expanding outside of Fortnite itself.
Our goal is to utilize the Fortnite ecosystem to deliver new stories, worlds and characters on a smaller scale to the large existing player base. Through these original creations we aim to captivate and expand the Fortnite community, establishing ourselves as leaders in innovative game experiences.
Original IP
Building Content with Licensed IP
As we know, IP is king, and leveraging existing intellectual property can be a game-changer in driving interest towards new games. At SkyRift, we recognize the immense value of integrating renowned IPs into our creations, offering an instant connection point for fans and a powerful draw for newcomers.
Epic is forming partnerships with brands like Lego and Disney to allow creators to build experiences with existing IPs and we will look into our own opportunities to license IP ourselves so that we can bring our own unique content for players, providing an immediate boost in visibility and engagement.
Original Complete Games
At SkyRift, developing original games within Fortnite with our own IP signifies a strategic end goal. Original IP is vital, allowing us the chance for significant financial freedom and enable licensing opportunities across movies, TV, and merchandise, creating diverse revenue streams. This approach not only enhances SkyRift's brand but also ensures long-term financial health and industry influence.
WHO WE ARE
Meet the Team
Imagine assembling an unparalleled team of seasoned developers, each boasting more than two decades of industry expertise, and equipping them with the finest tools available in the industry in the Unreal Engine. Now, place this elite group within the vast playground of Fortnite, the Triple A equivalent to Roblox, with a dynamic and growing platform boasting 236 million monthly players and $320 million paid out to creators in its inaugural year. Then, grant this team the ability to sculpt high quality, experiences with original IP that can help unlock long-tail revenue potential, while exponentially increasing a company's valuation with the ability to transcend games going into film, TV, merchandise and books. This is not just a hypothetical scenario – this is our bold vision at SkyRift, where we're turning 'what if' into 'what is.'
