Fortnite: Save the Globe is a cooperative hybrid-third-person shooter tower defence force survival video game developed and published by Epic Games. The game was released as a paid-for early admission championship for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation four and Xbox One on July 25, 2017, with plans for a full complimentary-to-play release announced in late 2018. Ballsy eventually opted to move the game to pay-to-play in June 2020. The retail versions of the game were published by Gearbox Software, while online distribution of the PC versions is handled past Epic's launcher.

Fortnite is set on contemporary Earth, where the sudden advent of a worldwide storm causes 98% of the earth's population to disappear, and zombie-like creatures ascent to set on the remainder. Considered by Epic as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead, Fortnite has upwards to four players cooperating on various missions on unlike maps to collect resources, build fortifications around defensive objectives that are meant to help fight the storm and protect survivors, and construct weapons and traps to engage in combat with waves of these creatures that try to destroy the objectives. Players gain rewards through these missions to amend their hero characters, support teams, and arsenal of weapon and trap schematics to be able to take on more difficult missions.

The game is supported through microtransactions to purchase in-game boodle boxes that tin be used towards these upgrades. A standalone battle royale game version, Fortnite Battle Royale, was released for the aforementioned platforms in September 2017. Following the release, the player-versus-environment mode was officially distinguished equally "Salvage the Earth".

Synopsis

One mean solar day, 98% of Earth'south human population suddenly disappeared, and the remaining humans found the skies covered in dense clouds, creating cluttered storms that dropped husks: humanoid zombie-like creatures that attacked the living. The survivors found ways to construct "storm shields", a field that cleared the storm clouds from immediately overhead and reduced the attacks from husks, and used these to gear up survivor bases across the world. The player is a commander of 1 of these bases, charged with going out of the storm shield to find resources, survivors, and other allies to help aggrandize their storm shield and discover a fashion to return Earth to its normal state.

Gameplay

The "tower defense" aspect of the game revolves effectually the histrion character defending the storm shield confronting zombie like creatures

Fortnite provides three singled-out production gameplay modes: admission to Fortnite Boxing Royale and Fortnite Artistic (which are available as a dissever complimentary-to-play titles) and the paid-for cooperative player-versus-surroundings "Save the Globe", which is unique to the primary Fortnite game.

Quests and events

Fortnite: Save the World is described every bit a unique blend of sandbox survival co-op lite RPG tower defense game, and is an amalgamation of player progression, exploration, scavenging items, sharing deficient resource, crafting weapons, edifice fortified structures, and fighting waves of encroaching monsters.^[8] Tim Sweeney, Epic's founder, described the game as "Minecraft meets Left four Expressionless".^[ix] The game plays in a third-person perspective and cycles between managing 1's resources at a safe home base, and and so going out on missions to complete quests as to collect resources and obtain rewards to advance the game's story.

Players can review their electric current story progress and quests, which can include daily, weekly, side, challenge, and event quests, which when completed provide in-game currency or resources.

Fortnite: Save the World offers themed-events with a unique progression line, new locations, and rewards based on those themes. The first such outcome was its Halloween consequence, "Fortnitemares", that offered Halloween-themed heroes, characters, weapons, and traps (usable outside of the event) by completing numerous objectives.^[10]

Map and missions

Missions are divided between four world locations, some available simply after progressing far enough in the story, and special locations for timed events and for the Survive the Storm mode. Within a location are several possible mission areas that show the type of mission, the terrain it takes place on, its difficulty rating relative to the player's current power level, and whether the mission is currently under special "storm" weather that throw random effects, similar buffed husks or mini-bosses, into the mission only have potentially better rewards if completed. The player can select a special "play with others" selection that automatically matches them with players at a similar ability level and story progression on a random mission for added rewards.

During missions, players can make their fortifications from one of three base materials (wood, brick, and metallic), and in a number of configurations, including floors/ceilings, walls, stairs, and ramps; players have the ability to edit these for more configurations, such equally adding a door or window to a wall. Each fortification part tin can be upgraded with more resources of the same type to improve their durability, and when they are damaged, can be repaired by spending additional resources. Traps, which have a limited number of activation before they fall apart, can be placed on floors, walls, and ceilings, and arranged in means to brand them more lethal or effective against husks. Traps may also include beneficial resources for players, such as healing pads, defender posts, and launch pads. Similarly, players tin can use a range of weapons simply these take limited durability that drops equally they are used or as a penalty if the player should be downed by husks and need to respawn without the help of allies. Players can construct new weapons, ammo, and traps from gathered resources, or detect these from searching containers across the map. During missions, the game progresses through an accelerated day-night bike; during the twenty-four hour period, the husks are more passive and exercise non mostly pose immediate threats, while during the nighttime, bands of husks may spawn in and will aggressively seek out players.

Nearly missions have place on procedurally-generated landscapes. Nearly missions are based on locating sites representing the objectives on the map, build upwards fortifications around those locations, and so face off confronting several waves of husks that volition endeavour to destroy the objectives. During completion of these missions, players are more often than not given a "storm forecast" to know where husks will spawn in equally to enhance fortification in that management, though this direction can change in more difficult missions. Other missions are fourth dimension-limited, requiring the players to locate and aid a number of survivors, build out several radar towers, or clear out various encampment of husks scattered around the map before time runs out. These missions encourage the players to explore the map and farm for resources (either by searching objects or destroying them with an axe) used to build the fortifications, weapons, ammunition, and traps needed to defend or attack the husks. Players also oftentimes need to seek out bluglo, a special resource that does not carry over between maps to activate certain mission objectives. Some missions are considered a loss if the objective is destroyed or time runs out, while other missions permit the players to rework their fortifications and first their defense again if the objective is destroyed. Maps will ofttimes have optional objectives that are discovered through exploration, such as human survivors that need assistance. Completing these successfully earn firsthand in-game rewards such as resource, weapons, and traps. Missions themselves may provide bonus objectives, such as past completing the mission within a certain in-game menses, using a limited number of fortification pieces, or saving more survivors than the minimum necessary, which affects the authorize of rewards the players receive after the successful completion of the master mission.

I unique mission type is Storm Shield Defense force (SSD) missions. In each of the four world locations, the thespian is allocated a map that remains persistent, representing the site where their base of operations's storm shield generator is placed, and in the storm mode, the player must return to this map to expand the tempest shield, requiring them to add together a new objective to defend successfully to continue the story. At any time, the player tin enter this map without starting the defense force mission, and employ their carried-over resource to build out the fortification and traps, or add resources to a special storage surface area for this map. Successfully completing SSD-missions unlocks "Endurance Mode" which allows players to test theirs skills and builds against an increasingly difficult and unending siege on their base.

Command and armory

The role player has a roster of hero characters, defender characters, and support characters (chosen Survivors). Hero characters represent characters from one of four classes that the role player tin use while on a mission, as well equally used to undertake resource-gathering missions making them unavailable to use until they return from the mission. Defender characters can be summoned to help with defense force but only if there are less than four players on a mission. Support characters (called "Survivors", who must be rescued ingame) are used to form various not-playable squads that provide passive bonuses to the player's attack force, building speed, armor, and health, with additional benefits if the player tin match certain characterization attributes within a squad.

The actor can spend commander upgrade skill points, earned by completing missions, and technology research points, earned over time, to unlock new base support skills, gadgets and tools. These tin can meliorate a role player'south base attributes, attributes that are shared with the other players while on missions, unlock higher levels of evolution for schematics and characters, open up new squad positions, or unlock general skills that players tin use in the field. Collectively, the actor'south progress on the commander rating, their survivor team composition, and their selected hero character make up the player's current "power level" which relates to what difficulty of missions the histrion should take and the game'due south matchmaking services.

The player has an itemization inventory of weapon and trap schematics, along with collected resources. The crafting schematics are used to construct weapons and traps when on the field. The player can spend different types of feel points and resources earned every bit mission rewards to level upward and evolve schematics and characters. For weapons and traps, this by and large boosts their effectiveness as well as unlocking additional attribute "perk" bonuses, while leveling up hero characters volition increment stats and unlock special skills the character has while in the field. Schematics and characters are generally assigned a rarity, which determines how much they tin exist leveled and evolved. A role player'southward inventory of schematics and characters is limited, but players can opt to slot anyone they do not demand into a drove book to gain rewards when certain drove sets are completed; use i or more of these schematics or characters to transform them into a new random particular, or simply retire them to gain back feel points and other resources to gratis up the inventory slots.^{[eleven] [12]}

Locker, store and particular store

The role player has access to a complete gallery of all Fortnite corrective items beyond all gameplay modes, featuring outfits, back bling, and harvesting tools. The actor can spend real-world currency and/or different types of in-game currency, feel points and resource earned as mission rewards, from loot boxes (represented as llama pinatas), or other resources to level upwardly and evolve schematics and characters.

Heroes in the player's locker have dissimilar power levels and abilities which can be increased either past upgrading them or by enhancing their back up squad with Survivor XP or Hero XP. The upgrades, nevertheless, are locked until certain quests are completed, such as the Storm Shield Defense missions.^[thirteen] Heroes also come in different rarities, but unlike the Battle Royale counterpart, the rarity of a hero can be upgraded further using Hero XP and other business relationship resources such every bit Epic or Legendary Flux that can exist obtained either from the weekly shop, or by completing some missions.

Although most cosmetics earned in Fortnite: Boxing Royale can be used in Fortnite: Salvage The World, in that location are some that cannot. These include all gliders, all contrails, and some backblings. Reactivity for some backblings may not work in Save The World either. Epic Games has sparked some controversy among players when a Save The World exclusive hero (Metal Squad Leader) was made bachelor in the Fortnite Boxing Royale item shop equally a peel. Some players felt ripped off by Epic Games' decision as they've already purchased the item in Save The World which was taunted to be rare.^[fourteen]

Development

History

Conception

Fortnite was revealed at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards (VGA), with Epic'due south former design director Cliff Bleszinski introducing a trailer for the game.^[15] Donald Mustard, creative lead at Epic, said in 2022 that this declaration was "three weeks after we came upward with the idea, earlier we even fabricated the game".^[xvi] The championship, which started out every bit an internal game jam projection post-obit the completion of Gears of War iii,^{[17] [xviii]} represents a deviation from the company's previous work.^[15] As Bleszinski explained during the Spike event, Epic wanted to "switch things up a petty bit and practice something different and fun" with Fortnite, describing it as "a world where you explore, you scavenge, you build and ultimately you survive."^[fifteen] In an interview with Engadget, he besides echoed these statements, claiming that the game would be different from the Gears of War series: "There's no dudebros in it...Non that at that place'south anything wrong with that, right? But creatively for the squad, Gears has been amazing for us. But it's fun to kind of stretch our wings and do something that's a niggling different from the usual."^[nineteen] At the time of its cosmos, producer Roger Collum said that the game grew out of taking two popular genres: building games like Minecraft and Terraria, and shooting games like Gears of State of war to make something novel, comparing it to making peanut butter cups out of peanut butter and chocolate. When they showed this approach to other developers, they constitute that the concept was an idea that others had had but never worked towards any last product, and from that knew they had something with potential to build on.^[eighteen]

As the game was at its very preliminary stages at the VGA reveal, the goal of this reveal was to seek public interest in the championship and potential publishing partners as to decide on the game'south release platforms and timeframe.^[twenty] During the July 2012 San Diego Comic Con, Epic announced that Fortnite would be an sectional personal calculator title, and the first one to be adult past Epic using their new Unreal four game engine, with a planned release in 2013.^{[21] [22]} The game's development was originally started in the Unreal 3 engine, merely equally they progressed, they had seen the opportunity to work in several of the new feature sets and scripting language offered past Unreal four for Fortnite, while nevertheless running on most personal computers at that fourth dimension. They further opted for personal computer exclusivity to avert the difficulty of having to go through console certification, and as they planned to be constantly monitoring and tweaking the game, acting every bit a dungeon master, the personal estimator approach would let them to do this without restrictions normally set up past panel manufacturers.^[23] Bleszinski later antiseptic that they would non dominion out release on other platforms equally they developed the title.^[24]

Fortnite 's development was spread among several of Ballsy'southward satellite studios,^[25] and was likewise co-developed by the Polish studio People Can Fly, which had worked with Epic previously on before games, and had been fully acquired by Epic sometime in 2012. People Can Fly were briefly renamed Epic Games Poland in 2013 as to align with Ballsy'southward other studios.^{[26] [27]} By March 2014, at that place were about xc developers working on the game.^[17] People Can Wing later returned to existence an independent studio and their ain name in 2015, but continued to aid Epic with Fortnite 's development.^{[1] [2]}

Transition under Tencent

Fortnite 's early evolution hit a number of roadblocks. Offset, Epic began using Fortnite every bit the testing footing for the new Unreal Engine 4, which slowed some evolution.^[28] A further factor was recognizing that to maintain interest in the game, information technology needed to have deep systems for player progression and itemization, like to computer role-playing games. They reached out and brought in system designers from popular massively multiplayer online games, including Darren Sugg, to gain input on how to create these types of systems.^[18] A culminating issue in the slowdown was the investment from Tencent in Epic Games in 2012, which transitioned a number of loftier-level executives, including Bleszinski, out of the company.^[29] Epic had recognized they needed to prepare for offering games that followed the games equally a service model. Tencent had excelled at this in China, and agreed to assistance Ballsy in substitution for meaning ownership in Epic. Epic chose to use Fortnite every bit the spearhead for Ballsy's games-as-a-service model which created additional road bumps, according to Mustard.^[28] Further, with the transition of executives, new leadership was needed to have over for Fortnite 's development team. Sugg, for example, had been discussing the diverse game systems in depth with Bleszinski, who otherwise was leading the pattern. With Bleszinski's departure, Sugg had to take over as lead blueprint to try to go on the vision that Bleszinski'southward team had.^[18] Rod Fergusson, who had left Epic later on Tencent's investment in 2012, stated that if he had stayed on with Epic, he would probable have cancelled Fortnite past this point.^[30]

At the same time, Epic fabricated several decisions on gameplay that felt established the basis of Fortnite. Initially when players placed walls and other fortifications, they would have had players complete a mini-game to complete the construction. They found that the game was more than successful when these fortifications built themselves, allowing players to create forts chop-chop, and kept this approach.^[eighteen] They were too able to bring in various game modes that had been envisioned in Gears of War 3, but which and so were express by the game'south engine. The dynamic nature of the game world due to players' fortifications and de-construction required them to come up up with an artificial intelligence pathfinding solution for the enemies.^[18] Epic considered they were trying to build a toolkit for players to interact with as to create emergent gameplay solutions based on the situation of the missions, from which they can proceed to expand upon with new items throughout the life of the game.^[18]

By November 2013, Epic confirmed that Fortnite would not release that twelvemonth, nor offered a target released date, though affirmed the game was still in development by several of its studios.^[31] Epic Games Vice President of Publishing Mike Fischer said in 2022 that Epic recognized that they "announced this game besides before long", and that its lengthy evolution flow was due to "very good reasons."^[32] Fortnite was a feature in the May 2022 issue of Game Informer, revealing that the championship would be released as a free-to-play game.^[33]

By 2014, Fortnite was at a "pretty functional prototype" with most of the Unreal 4 engine elements smoothed out, co-ordinate to Mustard.^[28] Epic anticipated it would still take about iii more years to complete, non only in polishing and balancing the game, just setting in place the necessary backend elements for the games-as-a-service model.^[28] To aid support development and become thespian feedback, Epic used a series of airtight alpha exam periods. The game's first closed alpha, called Online Test 1, ran from December 2 to nineteen, 2014, while Online Test 2 ran from March 24 to April xiv, 2015.^{[34] [35]} Epic said the first alpha was designed to help it "make sure all of our bones systems are working" and institute "a baseline for how people play in order to make Fortnite improve."^[34] Later on being demoed at WWDC 2022 on Mac, Fortnite entered closed beta testing in the fall of 2015.^[36] Approximately 50,000 players participated in these periods.^[28]

Fortnite was beingness developed alongside Paragon, which Epic announced in Nov 2015. Equally Paragon seemed to take Epic's focus, leaving fiddling news most Fortnite, CEO Tim Sweeney said in March 2022 that they were even so committed to Fortnite once Paragon was launched and established, given that much of the piece of work on Fortnite would take time to get the correct balance for gameplay. "We figure we should start with ane major successful launch and do one at a fourth dimension. Fortnite will be next."^[37]

Early access release and Boxing Royale spinoff

Past June 2017, Epic Games announced that Fortnite was now set for a 2022 release across Windows, macOS, and the PlayStation four and Xbox One consoles. Leading up to this free-to-play release, the game was offered equally a paid early access period starting on July 25, 2022 for all platforms; players who pre-ordered Founder's Packs were granted access to the game on July 21.^{[38] [39]} The lengthy period since the game's alpha phases was ascribed to developing Fortnite every bit a games-every bit-a-service model, according to creative lead Donald Mustard. While the game had been in a playable country for the two years before this, Epic wanted to be able to develop ongoing content to players to keep them interested in the title, such equally planning timed events with unique rewards, following the approach used by games like League of Legends and Warframe.^[38] Since the game had already been announced earlier in 2022 through Game Informer, Epic opted not to apply their Electronic Entertainment Expo fourth dimension or space in June 2022 to re-announce the game, fearing that coverage of it would be lost in the deluge of other gaming news coming out of the event. Instead, the Epic marketing team worked with Twitch and other game streamers to provide them early copies of the game to play and promote on their channels in the weeks leading upwardly to their target release appointment of July 25, 2017. However, a few weeks before this date, Epic recognized that the game was still not ready for release; it was playable but not content complete. Rather than prolonging it farther, Epic decided to release the game into paid early access on July 25, 2017, which would too allow them to become active feedback on the game as they progressed in development.^[40] At the time of the kickoff of early on access, Gearbox Software helped distribute the game on physical media.^[3]

With the popularity of Fortnite Boxing Royale, which was starting time released in early on access around September 2022 and gained considerable attending by early 2018, Epic divide off a separate development team to focus on improvements for this mode.^[41] Epic said that their attending to Fortnite was causing some of their other games to run into lower player populations, leading them to reduce evolution efforts on these games, particularly Paragon.^[42] Past the end of Jan 2018, Epic announced information technology was shutting downwardly Paragon past April of that yr, providing refunds to all players.^[43] Players on a Fortnite-dedicated Reddit forum had expressed concerns that a similar fate could befall the Save the World mode of Fortnite, equally externally, the Save the World mode has not received the aforementioned attention in providing updates and improvements compared to the Battle Royale mode since that mode's release.^[44] Epic'south Ed Zobrist said that as of March 2022 that the retention rates for "Save the World" take been high, and have grown since the release of Fortnite Battle Royale,^[40] and the company has since improved communications with the player base, such as providing development road maps and known bug lists.^[45]

In October 2018, Epic appear that the game's gratuitous-to-play release would not happen until at to the lowest degree 2019, which was done in gild to make sure that it would ready to accommodate large groups of new players.^[46] A significant patch for the game to be released in November 2022 aims to rework much of the game'south metagame interfaces, providing some automation and helpful communication through newly introduced characters for hero outfitting, survivor squads, and other activities.^[47] A modify in its loot box system was fabricated in Jan 2019, which allowed players to know what items they would get from the "loot llamas" purchased via the in-game store, similar to an ten-ray; contents of such loot llamas volition be randomized on a daily footing.^[48]

Terminal release

On June 29, 2020, Epic announced that they had designed to end Relieve the Globe 's early on access menstruum and brand it a full release, but at the same fourth dimension abandoning the original complimentary-to-play plans and keeping the game a premium title. With this modify, they were no longer able to continue to support common shared items betwixt the Save the Globe and Battle Royale modes of Fortnite. With this, Epic planned to include Ventures, flavor-long events to give players new challenges in the Save the World way alongside recurring almanac events.^[49] Long-term players of the Salve the World mode criticized Epic for this change; they had long seen the mode receive less care than Fortnite Boxing Royale with many features that had been planned now dropped, and that the game'south campaign that was to have had taken place over 4 major acts was effectively only 75% complete and appeared to be no longer a priority. A entrada hashtag "#SaveSaveTheWorld" grew amid both these players besides every bit sympathetic Fortnite Battle Royale players to try to convince Epic to put more than development resources into this style.^[fifty]

Art and design

In their initial prototypes of the game, Epic had used creepier and darker designs for the husks and other enemies, and many of the elements of the settings were assets pulled from both Gears of War and Unreal series, which further created a dark, depressing environment.^[18] Bleszinski said that they institute this to create an "exhaustive environment" that was also grim, and designed to accept the pattern in a more cartoonish approach, while still remaining creepy, and then that players would enjoy spending time in the game's earth, without competing with games like DayZ.^[24] They used works from Pixar, Tim Burton, and Looney Tunes as inspiration for the designs.^{[24] [51]}

Fortnite uses procedural generation to build out the maps for each mission. The game also includes an "AI manager" that monitors how players are progressing, and alters the challenges of the monsters it sends out to the players based on that progression, easing off if players are having greater difficulty in surviving.^[52] At one signal, the game had a squad-based player versus player mode, where each side attempted to build up a base around a central target while trying to attack the opponent's target after breaking through their base of operations. This did not go far into the final game.^[52]

Ballsy has cross-platform play between PC and PS4 and has stated plans to permit separate Fortnite cross-platform support for Xbox One and personal computer users, but cross-platform play between all three platforms has non been announced. Still, for a few hours during one day in September 2017, players plant they could cross-play between all iii platforms. Epic later corrected this, calling it a "configuration error".^[53]

On July 26, 2017, it was announced that Fortnite had sold over 500,000 digital pre-order copies.^[four] On Baronial eighteen, 2017, Epic confirmed that Fortnite had surpassed over a meg players.^[59]

Legal problems

Post-obit the improver of x-ray boodle boxes in February 2019, Epic Games was the bailiwick of a class-action lawsuit claiming that its former model for loot boxes was predatory considering they did not report the odds which rare items would appear in these boxes.^[60] Epic offered to settle the case in February 2021, in addition to retaining about $26 million to substantiated claims from members of the class particularly to minors affected by the example, by as well crediting all players of Save the World with 1,000 V-bucks (near $eight equivalent), with Epic'southward lawyers stating "it's the right thing to do and we feel strongly virtually random detail loot boxes".^[61]
