What makes the Epic Games’ Fortnite so popular?
Epic Games released Fortnite in 2017 and in no time the game becomes one of the most popular games in the Battle Royale category. The game has now become a kind of cultural phenomenon for its special dance emotes and currency usage in the game. The game is usually divided into three modes, namely: Save the World, Creative and Battle Royale.
The third mode, Battle Royale is one of the most popular and largely played amongst the three. The mode offers the 100 players that land on the island with no utilities. To survive on the island, players have to search for supplies of weapons for which they can team up and form a squad of two, four or even can play solo to become the last player standing on the island.
