, who leaked information about Fortnite moving to Epic Games' latest engine for Season 8, has revealed that the initial transition date has been pushed back to during Season 9. Hypex also revealed that a number of files relating to Fortnite's upcoming modding feature were updated with the v17.40 Update, suggesting that we could see it become available for everyone with only verified creators having the power to publish their mods. It's highly unlikely we will see any releases of the modding features until Chapter 3 launches which is expected to take place next year in 2022.

Unreal Engine 5's controls will likely be used heavily in Fortnite's to-be-released modding mode, codenamed "Project Valkyrie".
