The folks at Epic Games are "huge fans of the Battle Royale genre," according to creative director Donald Mustard, and so—surprise!—the studio is adding a Battle Royale mode to its base-building FPS Fortnite. The new mode will drop 100 players onto "one giant map," and give them one simple objective: Be the last commander standing. 

"We love Battle Royale games like PUBG and thought Fortnite would make a great foundation for our own version. A few months ago Epic’s Unreal Tournament team began experimenting with the mode while the original Fortnite team kept updating the core game," Mustard explained. "To maintain game balance we kept the PvP mode completely separate from the PvE mode. The new Battle Royale mode was so much fun we decided to share it with everyone to get feedback."
