Fortnite is developed and published by Epic Games, and is available as a PC game, as well as appearing on the PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox One and mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. This video covers the game’s origins as a tower defense game, how it entered the battle royale genre, and its relationship with pop culture such as the stream with Drake and Ninja, and the collaboration with Marvel to introduce Thanos.
