Epic Games has been quite busy lately. 2020 has been a rather busy year in the Fortnite community, with online concerts and various collaborations taking place. Recently, Epic Games acquired a shopping mall near its current headquarters in North Carolina to turn it into a new base.
In fact, the company has had its headquarters in Cary for more than 20 years now. However, it seems as though it wants to enlarge its base now by shifting to the 87-acre site. The Fortnite developer aims to make this change by 2024.
Epic Games wants this space to be “used by the community”

“We look forward to continuing to work closely and collaboratively with the Epic team as they conceptualize their new campus, and we’re honored to partner with them on this exciting new development.”
