Fortnite: Save the World
Fortnite Save the World is a looter shooter survival video game produced by Epic Games, part of the game Fortnite. It is a cooperative and sandbox-style game with elements of tower defense and played in hybrid-third-person, described by Epic as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. The game was initially released as a paid-for early access title for macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on July 25, 2017, with plans for a full free-to-play release announced in late 2018. Epic eventually opted to move the game to pay-to-play in June 2020, though will move the game to be free-to-play by April 2026 along with release on the Nintendo Switch 2. The retail versions of the game were published by Gearbox Software, while online distribution of the PC versions is handled by Epic's launcher.
Fortnite is set on contemporary Earth, where the sudden appearance of a worldwide storm causes 98% of the world's population to disappear, and zombie-like creatures rise to attack the remainder. Considered by Epic as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead, Fortnite has up to four players cooperating on various missions on different maps to collect resources, build fortifications around defensive objectives that help fight the storm and protect survivors, and construct weapons and traps to engage in combat with waves of these creatures that attempt to destroy the objectives. Players gain rewards through these missions to improve their hero characters, support teams, and arsenal of weapons and trap schematics, to take on more difficult missions.
The game was initially supported through microtransactions to purchase in-game loot boxes that could be used towards these upgrades. A standalone battle royale game version, Fortnite Battle Royale, was released for the same platforms in September 2017. In association with this change, Epic dropped the use of loot boxes, instead opting for direct purchase of cosmetics through the in-game currency known as V-Bucks. Following the release, the player-versus-environment mode was officially distinguished as "Save the World".
One day, 98% of Earth's human population suddenly disappeared, and the remaining humans found the skies covered in dense clouds, creating chaotic storms that dropped husks: humanoid zombie-like creatures that attacked the living. The survivors constructed "storm shields", a field that cleared the storm clouds from immediately overhead and reduced the attacks from husks, and used these to set up survivor bases across the globe. The player is a commander of one of these bases, charged with going out of the storm shield to find resources, survivors, and other allies to help expand their storm shield and return Earth to its normal state.
Fortnite Save the World is described as a unique blend of sandbox survival co-op lite RPG tower defense game, and is an amalgamation of player progression, exploration, scavenging items, sharing scarce resources, crafting weapons, building fortified structures, and fighting waves of encroaching monsters. Tim Sweeney, Epic Games' founder, described the game as "Minecraft meets Left 4 Dead".
The game is played from a third-person perspective. Up to four players cooperate in various missions to collect resources, build fortifications around defensive objectives that help fight the storm and protect survivors, and construct weapons and traps to engage in combat with waves of these creatures that attempt to destroy the objectives. Players gain rewards through these missions to improve their hero characters, support teams, and arsenal of weapons and trap schematics to take on more difficult missions.
Players can review their 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 event was its Halloween event, "Fortnitemares", which offered Halloween-themed heroes, characters, weapons, and traps (usable outside the event) by completing many objectives.
