Fortnite Battle Royale

Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney has recently tweeted his explanation of why their store takes only 12 per cent, as opposed to the industry standard of 30 per cent, arguing that physical stores with physical stock only take 10-15 per cent.

Another day, another teaser. Epic have posted a new teaser for Fortnite: Battle Royale's upcoming Avengers: Endgame crossover, and this time it's not Captain America's shield but Thor's Stormbreaker axe, but the hand holding it is peculiar.

There's no doubt that Epic's relentless update schedule has been the main engine of Fortnite's growth from a patchworked PUBG clone to the most popular game on the planet, but latest reports indicate that employees paid a dear price for it.

Epic Games and Marvel seem to have developed a taste for cinematic Fortnite crossovers and another is coming in a few days. You're looking at the poster for Avengers: Endgame in Fortnite, although details are pretty scarce at the moment.

Despite having kicked off Fortnite: World Cup one week ago, Epic Games have already banned more than a thousand cheaters, one of whom actually cheated in semi-finals. Obviously, one million dollars each week is a strong cheat motivator.

Fortnite's update v8.40 may have been light on weapons but it seems it didn't lack in bugs, and Epic rolling out v8.40.1 is proof enough. The bugs weren't exactly game breaking but they did cause a lot of confusion, so Epic to the rescue.

Epic have rolled out the v.8.40 update to Fortnite: Battle Royale and while it doesn't add any new weaponry, it takes to the skies more than ever, with Air Royale limited time mode. Fan favourite LTM Food Fight is also making a return.

Drones and Shadow Bombs could be the latest addition in Epic's battle royale Fortnite. These items could be making their way into Save the World and Battle Royale modes respectively according to dataminers Lucas7yoshi_ and Skin-Tracker.

Epic seem to be having real trouble making the Baller fit into Fortnite: Battle Royale, in spite of the fact it launched almost a full month ago. The dev nerfed its health by 100 HP, which they claim was the best possible solution.

As promised in Epic's last development update video, Fortnite v8.30 has brought Reboot Vans, Epic's version of Apex Legends' respawn mechanic, as well as Fly Explosives limited time mode and Buccaneer's Bounty Event, which will cycle LTMs.
