Ported... into... Fortnite? I don't understand what that means. Like portint Sonic into Mario it just, what
Fortnite is a massive platform now, not one game with a few modes. They have car racing, the actual fortnite game, Lego survival crafting, all kinds of stuff. It's why the download is 100+GB and every patch is like 50gb.
They have Rock Band too. Yes really, it's even worked on by Harmonix, the original creators.
What even is the actual fortnite called now then? Battle royale?
The Battle Royale portion is called Fortnite Battle Royale. The true original Fortnite was a sandbox defense game that is now known as Fortnite: Save the World. They are both accessible from the Fortnite lobby.
Very confusing.
What the actual fuck? Glad I quit playing it years ago, cause I like new features but I hate when games stray too far from the original vision (yes I'm aware that BR is a spinoff but you get my point). Why still call it Fortnite, if building forts is no longer a core aspect of the game?
Might as well call it Niteblox.
Prolly a new Fortnite game mode and cutting off the original games?
Do they even own the publishing rights to the originals to even cut them off? It sounds to me like they’re just making game modes that mimic the gameplay.
Edit: googled it and omg they do.
