Fortnite: New Content, Battle Pass, Trailer – All About Season 7 and 8!
The game world is shattering: In “Fortnite” are increasing indications of an imminent natural disaster – and the beginning of Season 8!
Die Map of “Fortnite” is once again changing. The reason for this is the upcoming end of Season 7 on February 28, 2019, and the subsequent kick-off for Season 8. Already in the past week, there were numerous indications that the current map could be hit by an earthquake or even a volcanic eruption and destroyed, Now the signs that speak for this theory are condensing. After the earth has shaken several times in the past few days and tinkerers in the source code of the game had discovered tangible evidence of up to 50 earthquakes, the effects are now obvious.
Fortnite: The earth tears open
In several places on the map of “Fortnite”, the earth breaks apart, apparently as a result of the tremors. There are no concrete consequences for the players at the moment, but further cracks are likely to follow in the near future, resulting in a lasting change in the current game world. Those who want to see the latest signs of impending destruction with their own eyes will find the currently visible cracks near Lazy Links and the Tomato Temple. Many players anticipate the start of Season 8 with a volcanic eruption that could melt the ice in Polar Peak and expose the castle buried there. Fittingly, gamblers discovered huge eggs at Polar Peak and suspected that they could hatch during a volcanic eruption. That would fit thematically to the eighth season of “Game of Thrones”,
Fortnite: Is The Fire King Coming?
Also in the picture would fit the return of the Fire King, which appears as a reward in the current “Prisoner Skin Challenge”. He was imprisoned during the Ice King’s reign at Snowstorm Castle. Some players watched a strange light in the northeast of the island. Behind it could hide the approaching army of the fire king. Players suspect that Season 8 thematically focuses on the Middle Ages. There were no official announcements so far. One thing is certain: It will remain exciting and you should keep your eyes open for extraordinary events in the next two weeks.

Fortnite: From The Vision To The Sale
At the Spike Video Game Awards Bleszinski wants to talk about the trailer actually only with publishers and explore interesting platforms for publication. Just over a year later, Epic Games is one step ahead. At a comic strip show in San Diego, the studio announces “Fortnite” exclusively for the PC – especially to avoid the time-consuming certification processes on the console. At the same time, it transpires that the developers at “Fortnite” no longer rely on the in-house Unreal Engine 3, but switch to the much more potent version 4. This promises a more impressive graphics but also slows down the schedules of the project. Not the only disruptive factor: In 2012, Chinese Internet giant Tencent acquired 48.4 percent of Epic’s shares for a lush amount of $ 330 million.
The Radical Change Of Direction
But “Fortnite” continues to thrive: Epic is redefining important key positions, and in November 2013, the company reassured impatient gamers with a commitment to “Fortnite.” However, tangible new information will only be available in May 2014 – in a huge cover story in the US trade magazine “Game Informer”. Many fans now hope that “Fortnite” finally appears. But they are disappointed. There are still three more years including many test phases with almost 50 000 participants in the country. Only in July 2017 is “Fortnite” in the Steam-like client from Epic Games available for download. As with the in-house multiplayer strategy game “Paragon” Epic initially decides to an early access phase. Players can buy and gamble “Fortnite” while it’s still in development. The game is well received,
However, Fortnite does not attract the big players – unlike PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), which has been taking the hearts of millions of shooter fans by storm since March 2017 with its Battle Royale mode. Even the developers of Epic Games captivates the principle. The studio acts and divides its employees into two teams. Group A is designed to evolve the classic zombie mode, conjure group B something out of the hat, which can compete with the Battle Royale mode of “PUBG”.
Free In The Mass Market
Led by design director Eric Williamson, the multiplayer team designs a Battle Royale card that takes on many design elements from the co-op adventure. On top of that, the makers put the rules of “PlayerUnknown’sBattlegrounds”. In order to stand out from “PUBG”, however, games should take a maximum of 25 minutes, and the construction options remain intact. Players can pull up walls or stairs in the Battle Royale games to protect themselves from shelling or to overcome obstacles.
For all this, Williamson and his colleagues do not even need two months. Already on September 26, 2017, the result appears as a stand-alone game under the name “Fortnite – Battle Royale”. Originally, the Battle Royale mode should belong to the paid Early Access variant. To address the widest possible audience, however, Epic rejects this plan just two weeks before the scheduled release and opts for the free-to-play model. But not only that favors the rocket launch of “Fortnite – Battle Royale”. Since the title is also available on PlayStation 4, rages for the first time a whole new crowd in Battle Royale battles. She had previously keenly directed towards “PUBG” on the PC. And while the competitor has an age rating of 18 years,
Tasting Is About Studying
After the release, especially the high number of hits of the developers and the clever marketing ensure that the players stay tuned and new ones are added. For example, at the Games Awards 2017 on December 8: Even as you celebrate 30 million active players flickers a smart trailer across the screen, which announces a 50-to-50 mode. Later, the developers dare more experiments, such as a game mode five teams consisting of 20 players each. In addition, they always deliver weapons supplies, including detonator explosives, a powerful shotgun, and a remote-controlled rocket. Everything is free after the motto: Let’s see what the community makes of it! And she makes something out of it. The Remote Control Rocket has made it into countless YouTube videos in which a player controls the bullet to his teammate. The comrade then jumps up at the right moment and flies away. Into the realistic “PUBG” such games do not fit. In the overdriven “Fortnite”, however, they are the icing on the cake. Incidentally, after two weeks of rocket-propelling, the developers have canceled the weapon again, causing the game balance to waver.
Battle Royale In The Subway
The next milestone reached “Fortnite” on March 13, 2018, with the release of the iOS version for iPhone and iPad. Epic Games has done a great job here, because “Fortnite Mobile” is not a lame copy of the game of success. The graphics are very detailed for smartphone conditions, and the App gamers may even compete against players on MacOS, Windows and Xbox One.
The Game Hits of The Coming Months
The Summit Is Not Yet Reached
And how does “Fortnite” continue? After the game has conquered PC, console, and smartphone, there is a huge potential for growth, especially in eSports. And the competitive scene is slowly gaining momentum: Well-known eSport clans such as the League of Legends outcast TeamSoloMid (TSM) are recruiting scores of players for their newly formed “Fortnite” divisions. So TSM is building up his team just around the professional Ali “Myth” Kabbani. And the FaZe clan, famous in ” Call of Duty ” and ” Counter-Strike “A team around shooting star Dennis “Cloak” Lepore stomps out of the ground. For this purpose, the Internet giant Tencent wants to pump 15 million US dollars alone in the Chinese “Fortnite” sports. And Ohio’s Ashland University now also awards eSport scholarships to Fortnite players.
In order for “Fortnite” to remain at the top of the gamers’ favor, Epic Games must do one thing above all else: continue as before. Developers need to keep their hit fresh with more modes, new weapons, more merchandise, and new challenges. Although there is no date when the announced new map appears. But that should give “Fortnite” further thrust, because then probably also players look again, which have turned in the meantime to other titles.
And then there is still the switch. Nintendo’s new console is selling well, and rumors of a switch port of “Fortnite” are already making the rounds. The Epic Games presents punctually to the games fair E3 (June 12 to 14 in Los Angeles) – claims at least Internet user “LeakyPanda”, which was often correct. According to switch owners even with PC and Xbox one gamers in the Battle Royale ring rise. But also the co-op mode comes supposedly with exclusive content on the switch. What exactly, “LeakyPanda” does not know. That famous Nintendo heroes such as Mario, Donkey Kong, and Co. occur, but quite possible. And they should inspire even more players for “Fortnite”.
