Full Article: Nazara Technologies Limited, India’s publicly listed gaming company, has announced that it will introduce the popular PC game Bodycam to Fortnite. This marks the first time the title will be adapted within the Fortnite ecosystem, where it will be launched as an interactive island.
Bodycam, originally acclaimed for its photorealistic visuals and tactical first-person shooter mechanics, has gained a strong following among PC gamers. Through the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), Nazara will reimagine the title with enhanced graphics, optimized performance, and expanded gameplay features suited for Fortnite’s global community across console, PC, and mobile platforms.
Nazara is collaborating with UEFN creator Virstate and Reissad Studio, the original developers of Bodycam, to design the new island. The game will feature two multiplayer modes—Gun Game and Team Deathmatch—with additional creator-generated maps planned for release. Optimizations will be powered by Unreal Engine 5.3, incorporating upgraded lighting, sound, and multiplayer balancing.
Company executives highlighted the move as part of Nazara’s broader strategy to scale its global gaming portfolio and embrace new platforms. “Fortnite is rapidly evolving into a hub where creators, brands, and gamers converge. Bringing a PC franchise like Bodycam into this ecosystem is an important milestone,” said Nitish Mittersain, CEO of Nazara Technologies.
Virstate’s founders, Zakaria and Mahdi, expressed confidence that the project would encourage other game publishers to explore UEFN’s potential. Meanwhile, Luca and Leo of Reissad Studio noted that the adaptation would allow millions of Fortnite players to experience Bodycam free of cost.
Nazara emphasized that the Fortnite island is independently created and not affiliated with Epic Games, Inc.
The initiative aligns with the company’s efforts to expand its presence in international gaming markets by combining original and third-party intellectual property with emerging platforms.
