Epic’s Fortnite enters Early Access phase on July 25th

Epic Games today announced that Fortnite, its third-person Action Building game, will be available in paid Early Access starting on July 25th.

Darren Sugg, Creative Director on Fortnite, said:

“Bringing Fortnite to life has been a true labor of love by a talented and dedicated team over many years. We’re excited to share the experience and start playing along with more gamers in Early Access this summer.”

In Fortnite, players team up to build massive forts and battle against hordes of monsters, all while crafting and looting within giant worlds where no two games are ever the same.

Epic Games debuted a new gameplay trailer today highlighting Fortnite’s unique mix of exploration, building, defense, and combat.

  1. Jez, they’re still working on this? Didn’t they debut this at Microsoft’s E3 like 6 or 7 years ago?

  2. Wasn’t this game supposed to represent what’s Unreal Engine 4 capable of as its launch title?

  3. After all these years it only releases as early access?? This must be of been in production for a good 6 years now

  4. So our next game will be a pc exlusive… it is a minecraft ripoff and its f2p.

    6 years later

    Ok so now the game is on ps4 too and its not f2p, also it has been done to death, but we are releasing it on early acess.

    Wtf is wrong with you epic games?

    There is nothing here i cant do in fallout 4, well apart from coop but thats pretty much every survival game ever.

    Ok in 7 years it will leave early acess i will play it, which seems to be around the time the forest, sabnautica and the long dark will leave early access.

  5. Nope, flat out huge nope from me.

    This game has been in production for years ffs, we even saw gameplay of it in co-op form two years ago and then suddenly complete radio silence for some years. This is not how you go about it at all.

    It’s clear they want more money to keep the game going, but it’s also coming to consoles, so why not cut a shady deal with one of them for extra money,rather than asking PC users to buy your half baked game and get free testers?.

    I was interested in this game years ago, but now it’s coming out in a half baked state an in ea to boot, fat chance.
