today we're gonna be dropping something quite familiar to anyone who survived the year 2018 mind you those that didn't I'm seeing this post I hope anyway fortnight may well be the biggest video game phenomenon with the 21st century beating off other battle royale games in a battle royale of battle Royales well for now anyway but just how successful has this game become who oh who has sued epic games and also is this terrible timing considering that last week apex legends just came out it may well be become bigger than fortnight and that's actually planning our videos way far ahead asunder sense of service this time yeah maybe anyway too much of who the Russians gonna be answered because I just answered the third one this time so hop on the battle bus do a stupid dance and prepare yourself for 101 facts about fortnight's yeah let's dab on them number one fortnight is a video game number two all this more okay edits you build forts and shoot people shoot there are different modes which you can download separately but always popular of these is fortnight battle royale where 100 people drop into a massive map and must fight to be the sole survivor number two fortnight was developed by Epic Games and is currently headed up by creative director Donald mustard which is an incredible name that sounds like it's from cluedo if you're into video games and don't know epic how is that possible they made Gears of War the Unreal Tournament games and the Unreal Engine number three port 9 was actually first announced back in 2011 a whole seven years before it would take off with this battle royale mode the context 2011 was the Year portal to Dark Souls and Skyrim some important arts plant-based botany from born men number four the battle royale mode we know today wasn't originally the be-all and end-all of the series as the game was originally meant to only be zombie cop survival which they marketed as minecraft meets left 4 dead 2 it someone probably thought silly epic minecraft already has zombies that a day will never work but this fake person I just made up feels really stupid now number 5 so why is it called fortnight I know we tackle the big questions here on 101 fact well for the zombie survival mode your character has to build a fort and survive in it for two weeks ie a fortnight very clever less clever now that aspect of the game is no longer the focus but what can you do it's just a bit unfortunate thought you know yeah you got back number six fortnight what revealed to the world that Spike TV game Awards in 2011 where Cliff Bleszinski described it as a game that's more about survival than anything else despite the many many changes the game went through this phrase still holds up number seven the game was supposed to have a creepier Tim Burton II look to it when zombie survival was more of a focus instead they lightened up its aesthetic to make it look more like Looney Tunes and the Pixar movies since they wanted players to enjoy playing in that world for an extended amount of time and not be exhausted by it number eight this co-op survival version of fortnight made dormant for years with even a small announcement in 2015 link people know it be available on Mac if it ever came out this all changed when fortnight saved the world it's sort of cooperative campaign was revealed and launched as paid early access back in July of 2017 number nine there are plans to make save the world free-to-play in 2018 much like its battle royale counterpart but that has been delayed till 2019 with no specific release dates if you don't fancy being a cheapskate and waiting around its $39.99 whatever that means number 10 fortnight was the first game to use the Unreal 4 game engine which is a major reason for its long and troubled development cycle this is kind of a big deal since there are dozens of games would utilize it such as the new Spyro remake crackdown 3 Psychonauts 2 and player unknowns battleground hmm interesting more on this pop G character in a minute number 11 fortnight is not only playable on game consoles and PC but Mobile's as well Wow so you can play it anywhere like this guy and this guy and this guy if it wasn't for the technological advancements made by the Unreal 4 engine this would not have been possible number there are a bunch of differences between the mobile versions and the full console and PC editions Samantha controls a little bit more streamlined when using only a touchscreen doors open automatically there's additional visual cues to pop up on screen to mitigate the inferior sound design Anderson I meant playing comparison to other versions and it has a massive graphical downgrade but hey and this is portable baby number 13 Epic Games and fortnight of 40 percent owned by the world's biggest games company Chinese conglomerate $0.10 who acquired epic stock way back in 2013 it's si car it seems like bought Lite wants to drop in every part of the I guess well domination is its own victory royale really number fourteen ten cent have been trying to bring fortnight to a Chinese audience for the past few years but the approval of new video games into China was frozen by the Chinese government back in
August of 2018 while no one knows the real reason some speculate it's due to the ccp's crackdown on video game addiction in children regardless this move has cost hem sent millions fortnight is big but not as big as it could be it permitted access to the biggest market in the world number fifteen ten cents bian wasn't all good news for epic as many big name stuff the company back in 2012 when the toys for $0.10 first began these include former Epic Games president Mike Capps veteran developer at Epic Games Cliff Bleszinski and director of Rod Fergusson who went to work embark infinite as well as the new gears of war games after Microsoft purchased the IP number 16 Liz insky who went on to formed boskie Games has since accused Epic Games of poaching their talent to work on fortnight one of those former employees William McCarroll denounced these claims by calling them presumptuous and hurtful since he wants to be considered a human being and not some corporate asset Sydney Cliff Bleszinski more like twist clothes boss key because their game wasn't selling ski that's actually true what number 17 the battle royale mode for fortnight was conceived after epic developers fell in love with player unknowns battlegrounds ie pub G which had been released in March 2017 hoping to capitalize on the Battle Royale trend epic release fortnight Battle Royale six months later number 18 the battle royale style of the game is directly inspired by the 2000 Japanese movie classic battle royale where 42 school children are sent to an island where the only way out is to fight each other to death with only one left standing sure it's chock-full of child murder but it's really entertaining child murder and book night is also full of killing kids if you think about it okay so that guy cheated number 19 despite both fortnight's and pub G having 100 players dropped into a map where only one player or team can be the winner for tonight's set itself apart with its building mechanic as well as his colorful aesthetic and polished gameplay it was also released with a free-to-play model over pub G's traditional paid model and so the battle royale between battle reals battle royale ie began number 20 unsurprisingly epics opportunistic take on their competitors unique selling points spurred the Korean trade as a pub G pub cheek or into suing Epic Games Korea in January 2018 this lawsuit has since been dropped but neither side has confirmed why or if it's ultimate was agreed to spooky number 21 one reason the pub G fought by copyright law of war ended could be because $0.10 owned a minority percentage of not just Epic Games but pub G 2 as recently as August when t 18 you know what I always say if you can't beat them join a Chinese corporate conglomerate aiming to win a monopoly of Chinese video game market as the overwhelming power of globalism it will inevitably swallow someone laugh you you know what I always say if you can't beat them join a Chinese corporate conglomerate aiming to own a monopoly in Chinese video game market as the overwhelming power of globalism but never to please all of us all I do why say that to be fair number 22 oh probably re on a gun off number 20 day oh yeah you've heard it one of the reasons fortnight is gained so much attention is its accessibility for night is available for example and ps4 Xbox one switch PC Mac iOS and Android it's actually harder to avoid than it is to play number 23 another feature increasing its accessibility is being able to play with anyone no matter what system they're playing on porn I just featured cross play between console pc and mobile players since March 2018 number 24 the switch version came out hours after it was announced at e3 2018 but not without a bit of drama ps4 users were being locked out of using their account on switch edition of the game due to Sony's policies which also restricted cross play between ps4 and twitch entirely this did however get resolved dr. metric fluff ton of backlash so we can all get completely destroyed by PC players together in harmony number 25 as fortnight blew up in popularity in the first half of 2018 the game is since garnered 8.3 million concurrent players subscriber gold am i right mother factors I should get one one facts - what about million subs hashtag YouTube life hashtag get tilted number 26 they also have over 200 million players overall which is about the same population size of Pakistan for some more context there while the Warcraft has 100 million registered accounts and minecraft has 91 million monthly players trends rise and fall in popularity but right now it's fortnight's turn up top until apex legends that is number 27 despite being free-to-play fortnight might well be the most lucrative video game in history they made more than 1 billion dollars from in-game purchases alone which is well it's more money than I can realistically conceive especially since it only gained popularity about a year ago god I could buy a lot of chicken nitrogen Haribo with us number 28 a big reason for the game's profit abilities due to the battle pass if you don't know how butter pus works while buying it gives you access to exclusive challenges and unlocks which rewards you for your play they change with every season so not only is there new reasons to keep playing it also bans a frantic fear of missing out when it comes to making the most of your bathroom post purchase number 29 Myrtle Pass was designed to be the antithesis of other free to play models epic games producer Roger column reference to time play tactics of mobile games and pay to win loot boxes as a blueprint for what not to do turning specifically to how League of Legends monetizes its content without damaging the free experience of the game take the hint EA oh you did oh well I stand corrected number 30 if you really really want an unfathomable statistic to represent how popular fortnight is look no further than twitch a sport night has been watched for over 5,000 years worth of time on the platform in just two weeks that's just short of 2.2 million hours and that stat doesn't even include YouTube which is insane number 31 this amount of time is so significant that media giant such as Netflix consider for tonight to be its biggest competitor since they're competing for people's spare time too rather than other TV services which aren't doing nearly as much bangers Netflix are but which do you prefer in this imaginary competition that's now apparently happening bot night or Netflix let me know in this fancy YouTube power number 32 fortnight is not just killing the competition but its own company's property too as its overnight success resulted in many teams being moved to develop solely for the game this inevitably shut down production on the title Paragon completely more like powered gone that pun doesn't work and just saying the same word twice let's move on number 30 spray well for tonight caused the loss of Paragon the game will live on in another form epic decided to release all the assets from Paragon on to the unreal marketplace completely for free that's 12 million dollars of digital assets usable by anyone in their own projects with no strings attached sounds pretty epic to me number 34 are you sick of us talking about fortnight's massive success well tough you're on the wrong video we've got one more fact about it to fortnight's has won a bunch of awards including game of the year 2018 at the golden joysticks the game award for best multiplayer game and most prestigious of all the Teen Choice Award for videogame fortnight just oozes highbrow prestige and everyone knows it number 35 fortnight in pub Jean might still dominate the battle realm landscape but there are plenty of other games chopping into competition these include realm royale me neither call of duty black ops 4 blackout mode and the latest Challenger apex legends apex seems to be the biggest threat is it gained 10 million players and 1 million concurrent players on its first day will this fresh meat to be able to keep up the momentum though only time will tell number 36 with the riser fortnight also came Tyler ninja Blevins who was the first streamer to reach 10 million followers and is thought to earn more than five hundred thousand dollars a month I mean what are we doing here guys we don't know more than that let's all go play fortnight no that's not number Blevins was a professional gamer before fortnight's he starts a professional gaming on Halo 3 back in 2009 became a streamer in 2011 and played h1z1 in pub G before making the traitorous - they commenced a fortnight before before number 38 ninjas ascension - which royalty hasn't been without controversy though in one case he said he wouldn't play with girls on his stream because it might spark rumors of him being romantically involved with women other than his wife this was met with significant backlash since cutting off the opportunity to work with the biggest personality on a huge media platform for half the population might just be seeing this problematic no one could've seen that coming much like a ninja actually hey wait a minute number 39 lebens caused more bother when he falsely accused another user of screen sniping him a form of cheating where someone watches someone stream to work out their location he went to great lengths trying to get this YouTube and calling him out to his large audience and getting on to his direct content at Epic Games because he couldn't handle the fact that someone was watching a stream that's available to the public he sounds fun to play with number 40 ninja is a generous fellow when it comes to dealing out some tips and tricks though if you want moves like Tyler like the maroon 5 song he advises would-be pros to learn the map state coast of the storms actually won't be flam from behind and always usual shields if you have any I mean that last one it's pretty obvious isn't it your services to never stay still always be getting resources or looting gym downtime and of course practice you're building oh I forgot to mention yet you can build lots in this game he also says the young players to finish their homework before treating themselves to fortnight's maybe he's not the worst role model number 41 while some companies don't know what to do with retina gaming epic games have decided to throw a buttload of money at it which tends to work for most thinks they will provide 100 million dollars to fund the prize pools in fortnight competitions that on the face of it sounds absolutely ridiculous but considering that the eSports industry will cross the 1 billion dollar mark in value in 2019 100 milli is a great investment considering the potential growth the meaning all for life despite the crazy money dump epics first competitive competition was a bit of a disaster latency issues help to eliminate top players early on only 4 of the promised 10 matches were broadcast and the gameplay itself turned out to be a boring camp fest as everyone playing hope to wait up the competition to increase their chances of winning the $250,000 prize money looks like stopping the competition early made for a short nights number 43 every online game has its own brand of terrible cheaters and fortnight is no different epoch is taking the battles to them by suing two players but the names of mr. Brue mr. frost spear for up to $150,000 in damages are not too caught up with the mr. men law but those who don't sound canon to me number 44 epic is also sought to solve this by acquiring anti-cheat company car mu responsible for the software easy anti cheat their software has been used in a variety of online games including rust smite Dragonball Fighters II paladins and was already being used in fortnight itself number 45 in what feels like the billionth lawsuit involving this game epic game sued a QA contractor over a leak which revealed the result of a season 4 game event if he accused thomas hanna revealed where the meteor would hit to a friend in his DMS which he believed would remain confidential it did not much like many things in the ends so Hanna now not only has a huge company breathing down his neck but he probably lost a friend too and hey that's the more hurtful thing here number 46 founder of Epic Games and creator of fortnight Tim Sweeney likes to buy land a ton of land actually the conservationists own 7,000 acres of wilderness in North Carolina spending fifteen million dollars to protect the land from being bought by power company and being built on which is well it's kind of ironic really considering fortnight is about building things number 47 you know something has reached the main string when pop icons get involved in fortnight is no exception professional mumbler Drake's a modern-day Mozart behind hotline bling join ninja for a charity stream I feel bad for insulting their H because he did donate $5,000 so sorry Drizzy number 48 ninja asked rake during the stream if he would put any fortnight references into the lyrics of one of his songs Drake said that he would but only if Epic Games put in the hotline bling' dance as an amount unfortunately that request was from quite a while ago back in March 2018 and it's been no news since so stale if drank without a song would I floss in your grave you know where it came from number 49 if you want to know what the fortnight font is it's Burbank and was designed by Tali Ming bit of graphic design knowledge for you there number 50 she can you believe it this excellent drawing of a chicken character by an eight-year-old made it into for tonight as an actual character with no foul play involved free chicken comes down for price of one after the touring is posted to Reddit Internet strangers on the site helped him develop and improve the idea before getting it submitted to epic the developers floated the idea and made the little boy's vision a reality number 51 parent will do many ridiculous things to make their kids happy and one of them is apparently hiring professional Fortnight coaches to school their kids on how to nab those victory Royale for themselves here's a tip just get good well some parents claim it's to prevent their child from being bullied at school others hope for their children to go professional and earn the kind of money eSports due to its competitors they can pay up to $30 an hour for a coach $30 an hour I could save up for a signed autograph from Jennifer Lawrence for that kind of money but probably be just as useful number 52 in what may be the most mean field crossover of all time Marvel Studios those absolute blaze of my life teamed up with epic twit fan awesome fortnight for a limited time there was a game-mode which let players pick up the Infinity Gauntlet and become planners who had devastating powers and an intimidating amount of health he can also dance you could make furnace dance number 53 their loss isn't the only game mode to come and go is these limited time events come in many shapes and sizes these include the 50 V 50 mode pretty self-explanatory their steady storm where the storm doesn't stop closing in one shot where players have low health low gravity and sniper weapons and bare bones which limits the GUI or GUI or graphical user interface on screen number 54 would epic make any of their limited time mode permanent or who you ask well well Thanos probably won't return mode such as 50 V 50 do have the demand for it also add to that the fact that playground one of the game modes what's made permanent at the end of last year if it was possible for playground why not others number 55 one of the more unique and weird events to happen in the game was the first ever virtual music concert headed up by EDM artists marshmallow this 10 minutes concert was played in game at pleasant park and coincided with a bunch of bible marshmallow skins and emotes whoever this Marsh fellow is he's got incredible business savvy partnering a four nights good on you marshy lad number 56 one of the most famous skins in the game is named the Reaper with the description vengeance for higher it was a really difficult skin to get as it required getting level 100 in season three's battle paths so anyone seen with it can be assumed to have put in the hours it also directly references Keanu Reeves character John wick the badass gun for hire with infinity for poppers and revenge number 57 the game makes plenty oh wow sorry whoa whoa puberty come back the game makes plenty of references to pop culture in their other skins to the rust Lord Skinner's are not the star-lord and guns the galaxy the Black Knight references Monty Python and shieldmaiden looks a lot like Katheryn Winnick shield maiden in the TV show Vikings number 58 there was a player who managed to grab the name fortnight winner as they use a handle however they went 1,000 games in a row without ever winning which I honestly can empathize with aim for the stars though but number 59 YouTube rewind 2018 which heavily featured fortnight and Will Smith making guttural noises delighted at the sight of the battle bus is the most disliked video on the entire platform it featured ninja a bunch of late night hosts during fortnight dances because you know that's what this platform is about and YouTube is dropping onto an island I mean it's truly awful number 60 fortnight resurrected an age-old argument of how video games might negatively affect children are Garber heard it all before many see their children neglecting a school work and barely leaving the house to play fortnight as a gaming disorder which is a proposed condition by the World Health Organization's in September 2018 despite this vital research still needs to be done into the phenomenon and it's only known to affect a small amount of people professor
Andy sure Bilski from the Oxford University says that there's nothing from a psychologists perspective to be worried about when it comes to fortnight and that it's popular because it's free and accessible not because it's violent which it really isn't number 61 there are some concerning cases when it comes to the fortnight child addiction arguments one case involved a nine-year-old girl who ended up wetting herself after playing fortnight for 10 hours and punched her dad in the face when he tried to confiscate the game thankfully she's now seeking treatment at a clinic for her problems but it's not every day you hear about a nine-year-old needing therapy I've playing too many video games number 62 the supply llama has become an iconic part of the game but there was some controversy around the V buck llamas in the save the world shop as they resembled loot boxes from other games the entire country of Belgium rule that loot boxes are a form of gambling as you and any kid who are buying them do not know what the items are in sight this is bird fortnight to make the llamas show what's inside them so epic have dodged some sort of child gambling calamity number 63 another problem fortnight has had was in the next book to do with aim assist if you increased fortnight's FPS to 240 it increases the effectiveness of aim assist so much that your crosshairs will magnetically lock on to the head of your desired target with aimbot precision - shame they've patched up really because it's really the kind of cheating I need Nintendo 64 fortnight monopoly exists because Hasbro will not stop until they've made a monopoly of literally everything in existence which actually sounds appropriate considering the name we've got one coming soon while I won monopoly long not really but it comes with fortnight pieces and unique battle royale rules the Fort Knox Edition that is so dropping your monopoly money on property works a little bit differently this time round number 65 while some teachers worry about students playing the game in class others reacted in a different way a group of students but their chemistry teacher than if they could get 6700 retweets on their tweeter challenge the teacher would have to make their final test about fortnight's they got over 30,000 retweets and the teacher made good on his word turns out those sport night coaches from before seemed less stupid now but also those kids education is gonna suffer as a result number 66 you can dance if you want to in fortnight you can leave your friends behind because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine anyway I've got distracted there but the game features plenty of unlockable dance taunts many of which are based on real dancers from pop culture the default dance is the one Turk does in scrubs damn kids don't know scrubs number 67 just hey everything it's all awful other notable real-life dancers and moves put into the game as emotes include the salt bay meme the best mates dance from marlin web Gangnam style and take the El is a salt mix between sports fans and Pennywise his dance from 2017 it number 68 the story of orange justice it's not a story the Jedi would tell you a young boy in an orange tea submitted a dance to epic games as part of their boogie down contest he lost scumming in 23rd but people on the internet campaigns that the kid starts to be put in any way just this for the orange shirt kid was eventually served as the dance called orange justice was put in the game and balance was restored to the universe number 69 drop me like the bangbus unfortunately the mother of orange justice kid has recently decided to sue Epic Games for their use of the dancers and emote which is strange since the dance was clearly submitted for a fortnight competition the competition rules did explicitly say though that epic would retain the rights to the dance and the winner wouldn't be paid money for the dance it remains to be seen if justice will be served either way as the case continues number 70 Epic's trouble was far from over though is they would receive numerous more lawsuits concerning the dance emotes in the game these would come from Milly Rock the flossing backpack kid Anton fondue Ruby Arrow who famously played Carlton banks in The Fresh Prince of bel-air number 71 the reason why fortnight's feels comfortable using these dances is because they are such a difficult thing to copyright you have to determine whether the dance is owned by the dancer or the choreographers or whether it's a social dance which everyone can perform or if it's long enough to be a choreographed routine rather than the potential building block to another dance no one wants the site for the creativity of dance as a whole certainly not me since new dances are often amalgamations and involved versions of all the ones in short and thank you for listening to my TED talk there's a reason why fortnight she was legally comfortable with their seconds long emotes number 272 the developers of fortnight paid homage to their multiplayer shooter history by putting in a poster in the game depicting the Unreal Tournament map facing world's there it is look there number 73 another poster depicting epics history can be found displaying the character jazz jackrabbit released back in the 90s when wacky cartoon videogame characters were all the rage number 74 there's an incredibly rare chance that when erecting a stone wall don't laugh come on you'll produce an own bearing wall as in your wall will have a gnome in it it does absolutely nothing but hey looks nice a number 75 a statue made out of cars and a truck can be found which some have said is a reference to Optimus Prime at transformers Fame but that's wrong it's clearly truckasaurus from The Simpsons kids these days number 76 every game begins on what's known as spawn island as players connect and wait for the round to begin you can actually see it from the main map but it's not designed to be reachable since it's surrounded by invisible walls this obstacle was proved you become back in June 2018 with a shopping cart glitch but this exploit was swiftly patched away for now the promised land remains just out of reach at least after you get on the battle bus number 77 australian youtuber marcel trying to rescue a player stuck at the bottom of a cliff without any materials to build up but hilariously murders him by accident with a golf cart we've all been there epic games wanting to pay tribute to this tragic failure of her mission have placed a tombstone in the game at the same place the manslaughter occurred number 78 a kill streak by Elemental underscore ray a player with a 0.47 kill ratio ie not that great but probably better than me has the highest solo kill streak in the entire game standing at a ridiculous 48 kills how is that possible well during the month in a light tone rocket launch event many planes in the game built a large ramp to a platform where they could watch the light show unfold before them and a mental ray saw the opportunity here and destroyed the ramp from underneath causing them to plummet to their deaths number 79 the marks are the in-game currency with which you can buy all the cosmetic items and luxuries dancers skins you know anything that makes you look super cool and fly the V stands for vendor tech which is a fictional technology company found in the save the world mode intern vendor tech is named after the mysterious doctor vendor Minh turns out there's a super deep lore and it doesn't stand for bergeon bucks like the YouTube comments tell me number 80 it's not only the kids who were getting in on the port knight craze as weirdly criminals are using v bucks to launder money criminals do this by purchasing v bucks with stolen credit cards and reselling them for a discount on the dark web Epic Games is trying to combat these issues but experts say they've not done enough and crime thrives on the platform number 81 the vault or whenever something is bolted refers to an epic removes items and features from the game for various reasons usually because of gameplay balance while a volatile item may have been removed from play they may return at a later stage once it's been tweaked to work with current gameplay some of these include the zapper Tron the crossbow and the jetpack number 82 they used to be two different types of jump hat a directional one which sauntered player in a direction and a vertical jump and which catapults the player vertically these got condensed into the belts pad which gives the player the height with control over sideways traversal the bounce pad though eventually got bolted but there's still the launch pad which is the closest method of traversal number 83 fortnight in shoot a new weapon into the fray called the Infinity Blade on December the 10th 2018 and then took it out of the game four days later despite only dropping once per game the sword was deemed too powerful but there is still a chance it could make more of a nerved appearance in the future number 84 fortnight's now goes through seasons where various changes happen to the ever-evolving map and comes with fresh challenges and skins available until next season rolls around number 85 with these seasons also come live events and vague story developments involving meets yours interdimensional cubes and zombie creatures invading and destroying parts of the island I'm not quite sure what the stories actually about but I guess it's cool that it interacts with players in real time I mean a plot would be nice but number 86 not all seasons are created equal though as the first season only came out with the disappointing 5 obtainable rewards overall 5 this was when challenges were first introduced oh so the game was still finding its feet number 87 season 2 step things up in December 2017 as they introduced the battle password tears going up to 70 this was also when the flosser boat came in and rewarded top tier earners with the Black Knight armor number 88 season 3 was when the game started to get really popular so it's a good thing the season had some great offerings beyond its superb space theme I mean Wow as well as hints of an incoming meteor strike this more it introduced snobby shores haunted hills and tilted towers to the map as well as throwing the game at a bombshell that was explosives into the fortnight Arsenal number 89 tilted towers is one of the busiest and most contested areas in fortnight due to the density of the loot film there and its vertical environment because it's volatile nature with such a shake up for the game its introduction brought controversy and hope that the incoming meteor which appeared during season 3 would obliterate it this meets your eventually destroyed dusty Depot for season 4 but tilted towers did lose a three-story building number 90 wild season 4 brought meteoric destruction a hub rocks which planted low gravity jumping it also had a super boom it introduced new locations such as the villain there and risky reels as well as the first vigor in the game the shopping cart I can finally fulfill my dream of playing Dale Winton supermarket sweep in a videogame this one's for you Dale number 91 season 4 also featured the fortnight blockbuster contest which asked players to make their own superhero movie using the replay system the grand prize of $25,000 went to chant the need for his film prepare for collision number 92 when the meteors approach was in-game that destruction caused didn't happen in real time this all changed with the rocket launch which would be fortnight's first live event again teasing the end of tilted the rocket fell back to earth and nearly crashed straight into it only for it to disappear in amount of interdimensional rift in space and time all us players watch the events unfold with their very own eyes 93 the risks caused by the rocket would stick around and grow until the end of season 4 for season five though players could use these newly spawned riffs to teleport around the map they also introduced a desert biome Paradise Palms circling storm movement and toys which allow players to get up there basketballs beach balls golf balls and tomatoes and play tomatoes there interactable - much like the football or soccer balls dotted around the map number 94 one of these events interacted with real-life cracks in time and space formed throughout the map relocating disappearing iconic objects and landmarks the der burger mascot disappeared from atop the fast food restaurant and a replica of it was found in the desert in real life this was confirmed to be a PR stunt by Epic Games themselves but does that mean real life is for tonight number 95 never buy the cube from season five was mysterious and layered but the marked in the fortnight subreddit prevented the word keep from being used but I mean I have no idea why but anyway this resulted in the cubing named Kevin because well Kevin's alright as a name I guess number 96 season six has all these mysterious floating islands but all I really care about is the pets this season brought in little dog oohs dragons and chameleons as animated back bling they're purely hashtag aesthetics of course as fortnight tries to keep up its reputation for not being paid to win but they are cute I can finally be the Khaleesi I've always dreamed of being number 97 season 7 is the latest one and it centers around an icy cold glacial theme to coincide with the winter period snowy peaks and frozen lakes come with a new vehicle in the form of a fighter plane called the storm wing x4 this adds a crazy amount of verticality to the whole map because it's a plane after all but everyone will definitely know exactly where you are fair trade-off really number 98 the gap between season 7 and season 8 is the longest in the series but epic have finally announced the start of the new season will roll out on February 27th we haven't got a clue what the theme is but we recommend snooping around the map for hints like these eggs for example could it be Easter could it be fire-breathing dragons that you know are just on your back who knows oh wait hang on a minute Game of Thrones that's all in a couple months maybe it's you know the Battle of the I can't say that what I'm you cheaper yeah keep an eye number 99 fortnight creative is the latest mode to be built where you can build your heart's content it's basically a more Minecraft e fortnight mode with the focus on customizing your own port night games or building something with friends ah it's a neat way to lean on the building aspect of the game rather than the fighting and I can only imagine how many body parts have been built and erected in that mode number 100 storm incoming as if for tonight wasn't already everywhere they may well be releasing a real port night soda based on the in-game item slurp
