Ways Fortnite Can Dominate in 2019
More Live In-Game Events
Towards the end of Season 6, Epic Games shocked players with the Cube in-game event. Sure, we saw the comet crash, rocket launch, formation of the rift, and lightning strikes to create the cube prior to this, but it was its explosion over Loot Lake that blew players’ minds.
Being transported into a Matrix-like world for a brief few minutes in the middle of a game, players were greeted to a rather magical moment. Following some rather eloquent interactions with a butterfly-like creature, it was time to return to the chaos of the real Fortnite world.
They were spat back out of the rift above the world only to see Loot Lake had been entirely transformed during their brief period of absence. An impressive technical feat, sure, but it’s the community togetherness of these events that makes them feel so special.
In most cases (not everyone can help themselves), players leave would-be enemies alone around these in-game events, allowing them to spectate and enjoy the spectacular moments Epic has created. Sure, you can watch the countless videos of it on YouTube, but it’s not quite the same as being there yourself.
We’re all for changes to Fortnite’s map, but the Cube’s explosion over Loot Lake proved to be a standout for many fans of the game in 2018. We only hope we see more of the same creativity from Epic going forward in 2019.
