Now in its fifth season, Epic Games' battle royale game
Fortnite is dominating the gaming market - so much so that even other publishers have acknowledged the game's impact on sales figures. But what makes
Fortnite so popular? And is there a chance any other games releasing soon can dethrone it as the most popular game?
In Gamefragger's latest webisode, host TH3KILLA and editor MattIsForReal discuss the success of Epic's battler royale game and why it is so popular. From what
Fortnite does so well to what other publishers are doing to counter its popularity, we discuss the latest in
Fortnite.
As you might have seen by now, most publishers are simply trying to mimic
Fortnite by adding a mode inspired by the genre in their very own games. Both
Call of Duty and
Battlefield are adding battle royale-inspired modes, and we've seen countless clones come and go. What do you think it will take to dethrone
Fortnite?
As mentioned in the video,
Fortnite's season five is winding down and Epic Games has begun teasing season six. Last week,
a mysterious, giant, purple cube appeared and has since begun slowly traveling across the map. Where is it headed? We'll likely find out at the end of season five in three weeks.
