Fortnite has been a long time coming and it is still technically not officially here yet. What is now a paid Early Access title was first announced in 2011 at the Spike Video Game Awards. It took inspiration from the likes of Minecraft and Left4Dead to create a mashup that incorporates elements of base building, role-playing games, and third-person shooters. It also manages to mix in other genres, such as survival games, to create something that is definitely unique. While this rather elaborate combination can certainly be entertaining it does also feel chaotic – as if the different parts were designed and put together by separate teams that were working on their own games and then flung together at the last minute.

Fornite, the co-op sandbox survival game from People Can Fly managed to sell 500,000 copies in its first day of early access.

Developer People Can Fly has announced that they are working in collaboration with Square Enix on a brand new project. The mystery project has been described as a “new high-end original title for consoles and PC.” However, considering that they have previously worked on games like Bulletstorm and Painkiller, the game is likely to be a shooter of some sort. “We’re building a game we all want to play which will be the perfect addition to our portfolio,” said Lee Singleton, head of studio at Square Enix London. Unfortunately, the game won’t be showing up at this year’s E3 so we won’t get a closer look at it for some time. Those who want to get up close and person with its development can apply or a number of new positions that have opened up at the studio as they begin work.
