Epic Games’ eternally popular battle royale game,Fortnite, is about to get significantly larger, with three new live-service games set to be added by the end of this week.
If you took part inFortnite’s Big Bang eventover the weekend (or if, like me, you watched it onYouTubeto avoid the lengthy queues), you’ll have seen the reveal ofFortnite’s upcoming experiences as they happened. Perhaps the most exciting of all is theLego Fortnitemode - a survival-crafting experience that Epic Gamessays“will encourage creativity, experimentation and collaboration through play.” It’ll be available to play from Thursday, December 7, at which point over 1,200 existing skins will be given blocky Lego variants, and players can explore “vast, open worlds.”
Next up on Friday, December 8, is theRocket Racingexperience, created byRocket Leaguedevelopers Psyonix. Epic Games describes it as a “supersonic arcade racer” in which players will be able to tear across “an ever-growing selection of tracks” alongside their friends. If you enjoy zooming around the regular battle royale map inFortnite’s vehicles, this is bound to take that experience to the next level.
Finally, theFortnite Festivalexperience is a music game built byRock Bandstudio Harmonix, which will allow players to perform “hit music by their favorite artists” either solo or with friends in a band. Season One of theFortnite Festivalwill be available from Saturday, December 9, where things will kick off with music from The Weeknd.
The first season ofFortnite’s fifth chapter is also in full swing, bringing players to an entirely new battle royale island full of fresh points of interest (POIs), weapons, items, and more. Scattered around the different locations, players can fight boss NPCs to earn ‘Society Medallions,’ which allow you to constantly regenerate Shield points when kept in your inventory - the more collected, the more you can regenerate. Compared to the more simplisticFortnite OG, there’s a lot to take in, but it’s certainly an exciting time to be a fan of the game.
