Superplastic, the animated entertainment company behind synthetic celebrities, has teamed up with Barnyard Games, seasoned game developers with 25 years of success, to launch a new Fortnite map called Fortnite’s Most Wanted.
Built in Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN), this free-for-all combat map combines the creative energy of Superplastic with Barnyard Games’ tech prowess. You can jump into the action now using island code: 9551-7266-2367.
In Fortnite’s Most Wanted, up to 12 players jump into a chaotic and thrilling battle where the objective is to collect paint cans, tag billboards, gain superpowers, and ultimately dominate the leaderboard. The gameplay is fast-paced and action-packed, demanding quick reflexes and strategic thinking. Each match is a frenzy of activity as players scramble to gather as many paint cans as possible, which are essential for tagging billboards scattered across the map. These cans not only serve as a resource but also act as power-ups that can turn the tide of the game, giving players unique abilities to outmaneuver and outgun their opponents.
The map is a stunning recreation of a New York City-inspired environment, complete with towering skyscrapers, narrow alleyways, and sprawling rooftops. This urban jungle offers a dynamic and immersive setting for the battles, with plenty of verticality and hidden spots to explore. Players can climb to the tops of buildings for a strategic vantage point or duck into side streets to avoid enemy fire. The cityscape is designed to be both visually captivating and strategically challenging, pushing players to constantly adapt their tactics as they navigate the diverse terrain. The setting not only enhances the gameplay but also immerses players in the vibrant world of Superplastic’s characters.
Players take on the roles of popular Superplastic characters like Janky, Guggimon, Dayzee, and the Lil’ Helpers, each bringing their own flair and personality to the game. As they battle it out, players aim to eliminate as many rivals as possible, snatch precious paint cans, and graffiti over 30 billboards. The competition is fierce, with everyone vying to climb the leaderboard and be crowned king of the kill. The unique characters and their abilities add an extra layer of excitement and variety, ensuring that no two matches are ever the same. Whether you’re a fan of Superplastic’s iconic characters or a newcomer, the game’s vibrant cast offers something for everyone.
The ultimate goal in Fortnite’s Most Wanted is to outlast and outsmart your opponents in a relentless game of spray and tag. The combination of collecting paint cans, tagging billboards, and evading relentless pursuits creates a high-stakes environment where every decision counts. Players must constantly be on the move, balancing offense and defense as they strive to maintain their lead. The game’s mechanics reward both aggressive tactics and strategic planning, making it a thrilling experience for all types of players. With its unique blend of action, strategy, and creativity, Fortnite’s Most Wanted offers an exhilarating twist on the traditional battle royale formula.
“We’re pumped to bring Most Wanted to life in Fortnite with Barnyard Games. This partnership merges our artistic vision with Barnyard’s game development skills, delivering a super creative and immersive experience. We want to introduce our characters in a fun, familiar environment, and this collaboration is a huge leap toward that goal.”
This collaboration is a big deal in the entertainment and gaming world, blending Superplastic’s unique animation style with Barnyard’s cutting-edge game development. Barnyard Games is using assets straight from Superplastic’s animation series, created in Unreal Engine, and integrating them directly into the Fortnite map. It’s the first game release between the two companies, marking a significant step forward.
This isn’t the first time Superplastic’s Janky and Guggimon have appeared in Fortnite though. They had custom playable characters in Battle Royale Seasons 7 and 8 and were also featured in Lego Fortnite in April 2024.
Fortnite’s Most Wanted is the first major UEFN game release in partnership with Superplastic and marks Barnyard Games’ second major release. Their Mega Golf Fun Zone franchise, released in December 2023, was featured in Epic’s Picks in Fortnite and at GDC 2024. Mega Golf Fun Zone is currently the top UEFN golf game in Fortnite.
