After the wacky deluge of gotta-launch-before-school-starts releases creating a pileup on the video game interstate yesterday, one might almost have missed Fortnite’s big update, so let’s rectify that now.
The key feature of yesterday’s early access update is Survive the Storm, the previously promised survival mode where players will try to survive a storm for an actual fortnite, 14 days. Players are also getting what the team is calling “mutant storms,” which “grant unique modifiers to enemies and heroes, and give useful rewards,” plus new weapons, animations, and skins. (Maybe this wasn’t the best week to ask gamers to survive a storm, but Epic can be forgiven for its lack of meteorological clairvoyance.)
In other Fortnite news, Epic is hosting a PAX meetup at the Seattle Gameworks (awww, remember those?) on Saturday in case you want to play video games that are, you know, not Fortnite. Pics down below!
