When news about the Fortnite Party Royale leaked online, it pumped up the players. Playing games like Fortnite keeps them occupied since they are stuck at home. Amidst all the drama in the world, people need some partying. A party online, that is. After all, this is the closest to a party that they can get.
Epic Games wants their player base to forget world issues even for a little bit. They went overboard in a good way with this party. The game company got the popular Steve Aoki at the helm along with deadmau5. Dillon Francis joins them at the party as well. This Fortnite party will make the players enjoy themselves while playing the game.
Another in-game concert for the players
Last month, players got to enjoy a party royale/in-game concert led by Travis Scott. This concert coincided with the rapper’s music added to the game. An unprecedented 12 million people attended the live event. Seeing the success of this in-game concert, Epic Games held a party royale earlier this month. This time, the music came from Diplo.
Epic Games started these concerts to celebrate the huge player registrations. Not only that, but players also spent lots of hours in the game. Imagine, all these players played the game for more than three billion hours. That is a feat worth celebrating. As of this writing, Fortnite has 350 million players, and it continues to grow every day.
In one year, Fortnite received 100 million registered players. It only goes to show that the game is going strong amidst rumors of it closing down. How can a game that has a strong following close down? Epic Games hopes that these numbers and achievements shut these rumors down.
What happens in a Party Royale?
Aside from the music events, obstacle courses and in-game content will challenge players. Obstacle courses at the Skydive Rift and boat races at Fishstick’s boat race will thrill players. They can also get their hands on new items at The Plaza. While Fortnite is an action game, no combat scenarios will happen during the party.
Players can forget about combat at the party. After all, this gathering is all about having fun. They can hang out, chill out, party with friends instead of gunning each other down. It is a welcome retreat from all the killing in the normal game.
The Fortnite Party Royale opens its doors on Friday at 9 pm Eastern Time. The party would end on Saturday at 2 am E.T. Drop everything and enjoy the party!
