NFL Zone fan experience kicks off in Fortnite

The National Football League (NFL) is launching the NFL Zone, an interactive fan experience in Fortnite Creative in partnership with Visa. The metaverse experience was designed for both Fortnite players and football fans alike.

Within the NFL Zone, fans can experience a virtual tailgate, a Visa-sponsored stadium and mini games. The Visa sponsored mini game — blitz the bag — features a capture-the-flag gameplay. The other — seek and sack — is a modified version of Fortnite’s “search and destroy” mode. Seek and sack will be playable on maps inspired by individual NFL teams. The San Francisco 49ers will be featured first but maps for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and more will follow.
