Fornite’s action take on Minecraft launches on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on July 25

Epic Games announced that Fortnite, its third-person shooter “action building” game, will be available in paid early access for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac starting on July 25. Youcan preorder or preregister now on the official website.

In Fortnite, players team up to build massive forts and battle against hordes of zombies, all while crafting and grabbing loot within big open environments where no encounter will be the same. I’ve been playing the alpha version of the game for more than a week, and it’s a unique and funny experience. At least it is as funny as you can make the zombie apocalypse. It’s a nice blend of the building fun of Minecraft, the realistic but stylized graphics of Unreal games, and amusing shooters like Team Fortress 2.
