It's cool to finally get some more details on this language. They showed some slides of it being used in Fortnite last year:

I believe it has roots in (but quite different from) Skookumscript

The code shown in those images is not in the programming language that is being introduced/created now by SPJ. It is clearly a separate (and not functional) scripting project.

The screenshot says "BoxFight.verse". Either Unreal has two separate new programming languages both called Verse, or you're plain wrong.

I believe they've been using Fortnite as a testing ground for a while now, to hammer out the design.
