The Future for 'Fortnite'

The Beginning The original Fortnite logo from the 2011 VGA trailer Fortnite has just in recent months became a household name. Regardless of who you are, you have heard the name, but few people realize its origins. Epic Games developed one of the biggest game series from the mid 2000s to to early 2010s, Gears of War. After Gears of War 3, the devs at Epic were looking to do something new. This is where the idea for Fortnite was born in 2011. The first trailer for Fortnite was shown at VGA 2011 as a survival shooter game. No one could have guessed what it would become by 2017.
