Fortnite - Guides and Tutorials

Fortnite is one of the most popular battle royales games currently available. It is an ever-evolving live-service title with weekly, as well as seasonal content that pushes the game's narrative and adds nuances to the gameplay, all the while providing new explorable and playable maps.

Fortnite is developed by Epic Games, the studio responsible for the first three Gears of War games and the prequel Gears of War: Judgement. After going independent to fulfill its ambitions of making a successful live-service game, Epic Games started working on Fortnite. First revealed at 2011's Spike Video Games (now called The Game Awards), Fortnite finally launched via early access in July 2017, with a full release later in 2018.

Fortnite Story

Fortnite's story is spread throughout Chapters 1-3 and will continue to evolve with new Chapters. It's an epic sci-fi tale that involves mind-bending multiple realities. Starting off with the shady organisation IO, who created the Fortnite island with the help of Zero Point, a massive ball of energy that connects all realities.

Since then, various enemy factions such as The Last Reality, have invaded the island to destroy Zero Point and ultimately end the entire universe in the process. Thankfully, over the years, multiple characters from popular fictional universes like Marvel and DC have appeared in Fortnite to save the day alongside loopers (players.)

In the ongoing Chapter 3 of Fortnite, IO forces are at war with The Seven, a group dedicated to saving the Zero Point at all costs. While the IO doesn't want the battle royale loop to stop, The Seven are fighting to end the loop for good.
