Fortnite finally leaves access early as Epic slows development of Save the World


Fortnite’s The iconic Battle Royale game mode took the world by storm, and today, Epic Games has announced that it will finally remove the early access tag from both the free shooting game and the less popular original game. Save the world mode. Epic also announced that Save the world it will continue to be a paid title separate from the free Battle Royale, and with the “official” release, it will start to slow down the release of content for Save the world.

The early access tag for Fortnite it’s actually a holdover from when Epic Games first launched Save the world as of May 2017 as a paid early access title but persists in all versions of Fortnite so far, even though it is perhaps the most popular game in the world right now.

Save the world, a cooperative survival game, originally described as a combination of Minecraft and Left 4 Dead – it actually predates its much more popular Battle Royale spin-off (which was originally released as a secondary mode before becoming its own free title) by a few months. After the success of FortniteIn free Battle Royale mode, Epic had planned to do Save the world equally free, but with today’s announcement, it appears that those plans have changed as development slows in Save the world instead.

As part of those changes, Epic has also said it will decrease support for new Battle Royale mode cosmetics in Save the world – although the company promises that players of existing cosmetics and items will continue to work in both modes.

Epic has also announced that Save the world It will switch to a seasonal model where existing events (such as the Frostnite winter event) will be repeated annually on a separate schedule in Battle Royale mode. There are also plans for “company” seasons that will feature new zones and additional modifiers to allow players to continue to progress in a replayable way, although details are still scarce.
