Fortnite by Epic Games: Everything You Need to Know

Fortnite is an online video game designed by Epic Games. It came to the limelight with its fight against Apple and Google, particularly against their practices in the App Store and the Play Store.


The game in itself is a very enjoyable experience. Available in three distinct game mode versions with different cross-platform compatibilities, the game became an immediate hit among the gamers. So, let’s find out the details about Fortnite by Epic Games.


When Was Fortnite Released by Epic Games?


To merge construction games with a shooter, the development of Fortnite began around 2011. After years of development, Epic Games finally managed to put together an early release version of Fortnite in July 2017. The free-to-play versions of the game were released in 2019. The other versions were also released between 2017 - 2019.


Epic Games is mainly a concern of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, while Tencent also played a key role in the game’s development.


How Many Game Mode Versions are in Fortnite?


Fortnite is available in three distinct gameplay modes. All the versions have the same game mechanics, graphics, and art assets. The three versions are:



  • Fortnite Save the World: This is a player vs environment game where four players can collaborate towards a common objective in several missions. The game is set in the aftermath of a fluke storm, which wiped out 98% of the population. Some zombie-like creatures attack the rest of the survivors.

  • Fortnite Battle Royale: Amassing some 125 million players in a matter of months, Fortnite Battle Royale became more than a game and more of a cultural phenomenon. In its narrative, up to 100 players can take part in a fight to be the last person standing.

  • Fortnite Creative: It’s more of an artsy version of Fortnite where the players enjoy the complete freedom of creating worlds from the scratch and designing battle arenas in it.


Both Battle Royale and Creative are free-to-play Fortnite games with Save the World being the only pay-to-play version.
