Dubai’s Iconic Landmarks Are Coming to Fortnite on November 11

Dubai is taking its gaming ambitions to the next level with Dubai Developed in Fortnite 2033, an interactive experience that will bring some of the city's most recognisable landmarks into the popular gaming platform.

Announced on November 2 by the DMCC Gaming Centre and Wild Unlimited, the project will launch globally on November 11, 2026, allowing players worldwide to explore a digital recreation of Dubai.

Explore Dubai Like Never Before

The experience will feature several iconic destinations, including Al Fahidi Fort, Almas Tower, Uptown Dubai, Skydive Dubai, Deep Dive Dubai, Kite Beach, Dubai Harbour, and the American University in Dubai.

Players will be able to explore these locations in an open-world environment featuring competitive challenges, team-based objectives, and interactive activities.

Built by Local Gaming Talent

Developed independently by Wild Unlimited using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), the project highlights Dubai's growing gaming development ecosystem.

Students from the American University in Dubai also contributed by digitally recreating their campus, demonstrating how local talent is becoming part of international gaming experiences.

Global Launch on November 11

The official launch will coincide with Wild Game Fest at SALT, Kite Beach, bringing together gamers, content creators, developers, and gaming enthusiasts.

The project is part of Dubai's broader ambition under the Dubai Programme for Gaming 2033, which aims to strengthen the emirate's position as a global gaming and esports hub.

More destinations, gameplay features, and collaborations are planned for future updates.

With this initiative, Dubai is bringing its culture, architecture, and attractions to a global gaming audience through an interactive digital world.
