Publisher: Epic Games Year of release: 2017 Fortnite: Battle Royale is a free-to-play tactical third person battle royale shooter, which pits 100 players against each other in a last team standing match, with team configurations ranging from 1-4 players. Fortnite: Battle Royale consists of two primary game modes, “build” and “no build”, both of which are played at an esports level, with building generally considered the most complex, as it allows players to construct different defensive structures using materials harvested throughout the match, adding an extra layer of skill expression and complexity. Fortnite: Battle Royale is one of the most played games in the world, and a huge favourite among young people and adults alike, with tons of features for self-expression and emergent fun alongside the more serious competitive esports aspects.
