Sign up to test Gears of War developer's upcoming defense-building shooter Fortnite

We’ve had to wait a bit longer than two weeks for news regarding Epic Game’s Fornite, but the company is finally opening up about its upcoming shooter.

Epic is taking sign ups for a chance to participate in an early alpha test of Fortnite. The new title has players working together to gather scraps and other materials to build up a defensive structure during the day. At night, gamers blow away attacking zombies. Epic still isn’t talking about platforms or business models, but it is asking about free-to-play games in a survey that it has potential alpha testers filling out.
