With its cartoonish graphics and colorful universe, Fortnite has been a raging success from the beginning. Epic Games made Battle Royale and Creative free-to-play but decided to Save The World as a pay-to-play ($39.99) to “keep the experience premium,” as they say. They can turn those in whatever they want, from arenas to parkour maps.įortnite was not even supposed to be developed: it all started with a game jam where the concept of merging the construction genre and the shooter genre sparked the idea that was going to turn into Fortnite as we know it. Finally, the Creative is something akin to Minecraft. Its popularity made it so that Epic even ported it on mobile devices. This mode is so popular that most of the time when people talk about Fortnite, they are actually referring to Battle Royale. Battle Royale is everything its name suggests: a PVP allowing up to 100 players where only one person will be the last one standing.
They have to protect their base, save survivors, collect resources and push back the storm or gather data on it. Players, also called Founders, must survive in a world overrun by zombies. It is a mix between tower defense, survival, and shooter. Save The World is the first mode to have been introduced to players. The modes are all different in how they use the Fortnite universe and what it has to offer. Launched in July 2017, Fortnite is an umbrella term covering three different game modes using Epic’s Unreal Engine and the same gameplay: Save The World, Creative Mode, and Battle Royale.
