LOS ANGELES, California, September 27, 2024 — Today, Look North World, a pioneering UGC game studio and publisher led by Alexander Seropian, Bungie founder and former Disney executive, announced Tower of Heck: Super Only Up, the vertical obstacle course where twenty players compete to climb, power-up, and conquer an insanely tall tower before anyone else. Developed by FarBridge, a studio specializing in immersive experiences on emerging platforms, the title is the latest release through Look North World’s Creator Label, which accelerates and elevates original UGC content with funding and end-to-end support.
Arriving just in time for Halloween as a UEFN island within Fortnite, Tower of Heck: Super Only Up is the ultimate, thrilling playground for gamers to party up, taunt, compete, and outplay friends this spooky season. Sixteen players load into the bottom of the tower and race to scale the increasingly complex spire by jumping, running, and wall-climbing. Players collect coins as they climb and avoid falling back where they started. But don’t worry! Fails and falls are the key to upgrades, as racers can buy power ups at the bottom of the tower and join back in the action to reach the top of the tower first. There may be no checkpoints, but falling can be the key to victory, so you can always try to convince yourself or your friends that you fell on purpose. Tower of Heck features global leaderboards to show off your skills, share your best time, and secure bragging rights.
Look North World’s Creator Label is a curated program designed to fund, support, and promote original creations for release on popular UGC platforms. The initiative helps creators and studios make their way into UEFN through benefits including a guaranteed advance, long-term ownership of intellectual property, a marketing budget to support distribution, and access to a team of experts for mentorship, artistic, and technical support.
“Ready, set, jump! Tower of Heck: Super Only Up perfectly showcases the value of accelerated UGC development. I was so excited to welcome the talented FarBridge team into our Creator Label Program and help make their vision a reality on UEFN. Tower of Heck: Super Only Up delivers a thrilling experience to Fortnite gamers when and where they want to play it. It’s a perfect release for the Halloween season,” said Alex Seropian, Founder, and CEO of Look North World.
