Fortnite is one of the most celebrated battle royale games in the gaming community. Even five years after its release in 2017, it remains an absolute favorite among the fans. After all, it has not only offered a great gaming experience but also given birth to endless trends and memes over the years.

Despite being such a popular fan-favorite title, there is still a lot about it that is unknown to its users. There have been a lot of incidents and controversies related to this game by Epic Games. But today we will look into the top five interesting facts about this battle royale.

Original Fortnite disks can earn a lot of money

Everyone knows Fortnite is a free-to-play game, meaning all you need to do is download it and start playing. But that wasn’t the case always, as originally, players also had an option to buy a game disk when it first came out in 2017.

But now, it’s near impossible to find these disks, making it a good collectible item for enthusiasts. When something gets the rare collectible tag, it also gets a big price value and so did these Fortnite disks. There are some reports suggesting that few of the fans have bought the game disks for over $10,000.

Mystique’s Skull falls victim to China’s censorship

China’s censorship rules are no strangers to anyone, which has led to many bizarre and hilarious images on the internet sometimes. Even Epic Games’ masterpiece once fell victim to China’s strict censorship rules.

In Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4, players had access to the Marvel series Mystique Set. This set included a Back Bling named Mystique’s Skull, which became popular among fans since it resembled a golden skull. However, due to China’s censorship regulations, the developers were forced to modify it to a golden ball when it was launched there.

Fortnite came a long way

Before developing games, Epic Games was known for their invention of Unreal Engine. It is a tool that many studios used to create their titles. Coming as no surprise, Epic then used it to create their own very first title in Fortnite.

This 2017 video game has been around for so long that it was not only Epic Game’s first game made on Unreal Engine 4, but it is also their first game made on the latest Unreal Engine 5. Now, the American company can use more amazing features like Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution.

When Kirby found its way into the Epic Games universe!

Epic Game is known for its collaborations, but it is yet to collaborate with Nintendo. However, the beloved soft little sponge ball Kirby by Nintendo once made it into the Epic Games universe via the battle royale.

Epic Games added a Party Royale mode in the game in 2020, allowing fans to have fun with their friends rather than fight with them. However, the video’s trailer featured Nintendo’s pink hero on a screen. But when the same clip was released on Xbox and PlayStation channels, Kirby was blurred. Maybe Epic Games received some legal letters or it was just a failed collaboration that could have been massive.

There is still a plethora of facts untold, but let’s settle at five for now. But you can also share some unknown facts about this game you know in the comments down below.
