What is Fortnite?Fortnite is a massive multiplayer online video game released in July 2017, developed by Epic Games.

The game includes three different game modes:

• Save the World • Battle Royale• Creative

Fortnite: Save the World is a player-versus-environment (PvE) cooperative game, with four players collaborating towards a common objective on various missions.

The game is set after a fluke storm appears across Earth, causing 98% of the population to disappear, and the survivors to be attacked by zombie-like "husks". The players take the role of commanders of home base shelters, collecting resources, saving survivors, and defending equipment that helps to either collect data on the storm or to push back the storm.

Cost: $39.99 (Free-to-play TBD)

Fortnite Creative is a sandbox game mode, similar to Minecraft in that players are given complete freedom to spawn everything that is within the game on an island, and can create games such as battle arenas, race-courses, platforming challenges, and more.

Fortnite Battle Royale is a free player-versus-player game for up to 100 players, allowing one to play alone, in a duo, or in a squad (usually consisting of three or four players). Weaponless players airdrop from a "Battle Bus" that crosses the game's map. When they land, they must collect weapons, build safe structures, and try to avoid the Storm that damages all players outside of a safe zone.

Cost: Free
