Game news The video game that should have failed… The incredible story behind the creation of the Fortnite juggernaut!
Discover, in podcast, the story of one of the games that has become a must-have in the video game industry, thanks to this JV Legends now available on all platforms!
Fortnite has become, in just 7 years, one of the biggest names in video games, compared to other licenses already well established in the industry. The title completely revolutionized the way we play, so much so thatabsolutely no one could miss the phenomenon that shook the planet. But apart from a few decisions, the famous battle royale almost never saw the light of day!
A game that became (quickly) cult
At the heart of the storm is Tim Sweeney, a little programming prodigy and founder of Epic Games, the company behind the Unreal Engine. This advance propels the studio to the top of the industry by forcing its competitors to use its product if they wish to release beautiful games. In addition to this engine, the studio is consecutively developing two major licenses: the Unreal saga and Gears of War, the latter exclusively on Xbox 360. Having become cult, these franchises establish the PC and console domination of Epic Games, but Tim and his teams want to go even further, by developing, once again, something never seen before: Fortnite. If it is today a juggernaut, the title almost disappeared as quickly as it appeared…
