Homebase Commanders, 

Fortnite has always been in a constant state of evolution since we first began development, and so much has changed over the years as we've played and developed the game with you. As we near the three-year anniversary of Fortnite and Save the World’s release, we wanted to share an update on our development plans.

Since the launch of Save the World’s Early Access period, we've added a vast collection of unique Heroes and Schematics, an overhaul of the Front End and Hero Loadouts, a weapon recombobulation system, a climactic narrative experience, and more that has shaped Save the World into a massive-collection-RPG experience.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Today we’re bringing Save the World out of Early Access and have decided that it will remain a premium experience rather than going free-to-pla... Read more

Update:

Hey folks, We found some technical mistakes and apologize as our Movie Nite test will not be available in Canada or Puerto Rico. We’ll learn from this mistake and work to make a better global experience next time.

Grab the popcorn! This Friday, June 26 we’re testing Movie Nite at Party Royale’s Big Screen. We’re offering limited screenings of one of three different Christopher Nolan classic full-length feature films -- either Inception, Batman Begins, or The Prestige -- directly in Fortnite.

Navigating distribution rights for different countries and languages for full movies is challenging. As part of this first test, we wanted as many people to experience Movie Nite as possible. The film you'll be able to watch will depend on your country, and unfortunately we couldn't reach everyone with these screening...
