Fortnite’s biggest moments have come from those events where players put down their weapons and watched concerts performed, giant robots clash and reality itself end. Which is why Epic Games is looking to focus on that social side of Fortnite, with a new Party Mode that was revealed to content creators in a new email.

Epic Games' new Fortnite Icon Series may be merging the worlds of fashion, music and film together, but it'll also honour its most popular streamers with exclusive skins and bling.

It’s the end of the world, as we know it. A massive black hole has opened up in the sky, collapsing all of reality into a singularity from which there is no escape. Millions of rabid gamers currently observe the endless void, as something begins to change on the other side. How did Fortnite get to this point though?

Look, you’re going to be hearing a lot about Fortnite for the next while, because Epic Games did an incredible bit of guerrilla marketing to get their Battle Royale game front and centre again. It’s the top trending topic on Twitter, at least 4.2 million people watched the great big event on Twitch, while another 1.5 million watched it on YouTube.

Fortnite: Battle Royale’s greatest triumph is how it has managed to adapt with the times and create a map which is always evolving. From Dusty Divot to Flush Factory, the landmass may be familiar but the action inside of it has played home to some of the biggest events in video games. That being said, a change is necessary if Fortnite wants to continue dominating the games market and avoid stagnation.

Tired of being mercilessly killed by absurdly-skilled players mere seconds after you start a game of Fortnite? Season 11 will even the playing field massively, as better matchmaking options and bots will help provide a fairer challenge to players of any skill level.

This year’s celebration of the caped crusader is looking to be bigger than ever, with the bat-signal being broadcast through several cities as celebrations kick off, but for those of us who can’t be bothered enough to leave the house? Sounds like Fortnite has your back, and they’ve got a batarang pointed at it.

The B.R.U.T.E mech may have been designed to give Fortnite some more dynamic matches while allowing lesser-skilled players (Hi mom!) to stand a chance of winning a round, but the inclusion of that cybernetic crutch has been nothing short of controversial since it was first assembled.
