As part of the Summer Game Fest, Epic Games not only presented the new Unreal Engine 5 based on a first technology demo on the PlayStation 5, but also has other news ready: Fortnite is also said to make the new consoles unsafe.
Such a step was basically to be assumed, but it has now been officially confirmed: The long-running Battle Royale is coming directly to the launch of the new consoles for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Downside: Fortnite is unfortunately not hoisted on the new consoles to the more powerful and noticeably more opulent Unreal Engine 5; instead, the Unreal Engine 4, which has already been used, will continue to be used as the basis on PS5 and XSX.
But: According to Epic Games, an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 is also well considered; This should take place by mid-2021 and then also let Fortnite shine in new splendor. In addition, further details on the next-gen release were left open, apart from the intended cross-play and cross-save support. So gamers can also gamble across the platforms and access their progress from different platforms.
And: The versions for PS4 and Xbox One should continue to be supported until further notice. If you don't want to buy a next-gen console directly, you don't have to worry about staying on the Fortnite route.
With Party Royale, Fortnite is launching an extensive event and the trailer is meant to whet your appetite.
