Fortnite Commanders,

In the four days since Head Start Access began, your enthusiasm and passion for Fortnite has completely blown us away. We are humbled and amazed by all of your tweets, streams, videos, and your incredible support and patience as we’ve worked through technical issues to keep you in Fortnite fighting back the storm.

When we decided to open Fortnite to a larger community via Early Access, we hoped some of you would embrace the opportunity to jump in and help us put shape around our core systems and features. We hoped a handful of players would want to participate in our development adventure. You exceeded every estimate of just how many of you would show up!

This is a live service and we are here for the long haul.  We’ll keep iterati... Read more

If Fortnite going into Early Access was not enough for you, well prep those traps and reinforce those walls because we’re kicking things off with a Founder’s Event.

We are kicking off Early Access by adding special Llama Pinatas to the store, which you can purchase with Founder’s Coins.

These Llama contain all the same things you’d expect to find in a Llama (Survivors, Weapons, etc.), but also a chance at a Founder’s Exclusive version of an epic weapon (normal weapon).

Founder’s Coins can be acquired through Daily Quests which will be ...

Greetings non-husk humanoids,

With only three more days until the NDA lift we wanted to thank all of our Alpha Explorers for their continued support and feedback throughout the Alpha. On July 20 at 10 AM EDT (3 PM CET), the NDA will be lifted and Early Access officially begins, so make sure to mark your calendars and prepare.

What does the NDA lift mean?

Glad you asked. Community members will be able to create, share and talk about Fortnite freely. To assist those who want to dive into creating awesome Fortnite content we are including a community pack below, which contains cool assets to help you on that journey.

When can I do this?

If you are an Alpha player with Founder’s Access you will be able to play and share your thoughts starting July 20. Founders who didn’t play in the Alpha will be able to hop in July 21.
