If Epic is already pushing crossover bundles between Save the World and Battle Royale, we probably aren't that far off both parts being free to download.Īdded to this is of course the recent release of Fortnite Battle Royale's new mobile game. In Save the World you can purchase Llama Piñata card packs that contain weapon, trap and gadget schematics as well as new Heroes and more!" "In Battle Royale you can purchase new customisation items for your Hero, glider, or pickaxe. "V-Bucks are an in-game currency that can be spent in both the Battle Royale PvP mode and the Save the World PvE campaign," reads the official description. It looks like packs like this will be a core part of Epic's monetisation technique going forward, offering limited time items (this one delists on April 1) in order to give players a good starting place in the game. The Battle Royale add-on is being advertised for $4.99, and contains 600 V-Bucks, the Rogue Agent Outfit and the Catalyst Back Bling. Thanks to the way Fortnite is continuing to be able to monetise Battle Royale, we could see Epic make the jump to Save the World going free sooner than expected, rather than later in the year.Įpic has recently started selling the Fortnite Battle Royale Starter Pack, for example. “We appreciate everyone who’s played and supported the game so far, and our philosophy is to do everything we can to show that to our players.” He said: “We’re still looking at a 2018 free release for ‘Save the World.’ Epic tried to be really generous with the content in Early Access packs, and there have been events and items that exclusive to this Early Access period already! Speaking to .uk earlier this year, Eric Williamson, Fortnite’s Lead Systems Designer, said that’s still the plan. Fortnite was originally a game called Fortnite: Save the World, and it revolved around you building forts to help you defend yourself against incoming hordes of monsters in efforts to save your friends from harm.Įpic Games had previously said that Fortnite Save The World would become free to download in 2018.
Impressively, Epic has offered Fortnite Battle Royale for free since launch - perhaps one aspect of the game's unprecedented success.īut that wasn't the original game.
The game has been propelled into mainstream success since it launched last year, following PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds into the Battle Royale genre, and quickly surpassing the genre giant.
Fortnite has seen a massive amount of popularity thanks to its remarkably popular Battle Royale mode.
