When we got the call to co-create the expansion of one of pop culture’s most legendary franchises, it felt like we were gearing up alongside the Turtles to bring all of our childhood birthday wishes to life! In collaboration with Paramount and Epic Games, we’re proud to be part of the launch of Fortnite x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), officially announced this week at Unreal Fest. This partnership brings iconic TMNT environments to life, giving UEFN creators everything they need to craft their own Turtle-powered adventures. The reception has been incredible so far - we even made Sports Illustrated.
Check out the official Fortnite x TMNT trailer below to see these assets in action.
Inside KitBash: How We Built TMNT
In this special edition of Inside KitBash3D, take an exclusive look at how we crafted the iconic TMNT locations. From the intricate details of New York’s skyline to the hidden passages of the Turtles' underground hideout, you’ll get an insider’s view of the craftsmanship and dedication the KitBash3D team brought to the project.
A Look at the TMNT Assets
Here’s a sneak peek at the incredible TMNT assets now available to creators.
New York City
We began building the TMNT universe with New York City, because while the Turtles travel through dimensions and beyond, they will always, first and foremost, be the protectors of NYC.
NYC Rooftops and Alleys
A signature element across all TMNT iterations, the rooftops and alleys of New York are the Turtles' playground—perfect for stealthy missions and navigating the city in secret.
Technodrome
The largest asset ever created for Fortnite, this massive structure is packed with portals, laboratories, jail cells, and more. It’s an entire level in itself, offering endless possibilities for gameplay.
Down in the Lair: The Turtles’ Secret Hideout
Hidden beneath the streets of NYC, the Turtles' lair is the ultimate hideout—a secret base where they plan their missions and prepare for action.
Leonardo’s room is a testament to his discipline and focus, with perfectly arranged weapons and training materials reflecting his role as the responsible leader and dedicated student of ninjutsu.
Michelangelo’s space, in contrast, is a chaotic haven of fun and pizza boxes, bursting with color and personality, embodying his carefree, optimistic nature—always ready for a good time, even if he’s a bit scattered.
Raphael’s corner of the lair is rugged and intense, with sparring gear and a heavy bag close at hand. It mirrors his tough, moody, and rebellious side, always prepared for action.
Donatello’s workspace is a tech-lover’s dream, filled with gadgets, blueprints, and cutting-edge technology. His meticulous, inventive mind is on full display in every corner, ready to solve problems with his genius.
