The battle royale genre has been ruling the gaming scene for quite a while now. While considering its vast popularity, we have to remember the ease of access vested by specific games. Most of the successful battle royale games are free. Fortnite is a prime example of one of the most influential and top-rated games of all time. In a way, over the past 3-4 years, Fortnite has somehow driven games into evolving in their own way. To have a spot in the list of best battle royales, a game needs that element of accessibility. This comes with the game being free in the first place. Over the years we have seen several games choosing this path to reach out to more people.? Some of the finest examples would be Call Of Duty Warzone and Apex Legends. Non-BR games like Valorant have also helped their cause by doing this. FORTNITE LEADING THE RACE FOR FREE BRS Epic Games is maintaining a serious level of quality when it comes to making their game a trendsetter. Not just with the new content, but also with community service. Epic has always maintained this quality; this made other developers follow suit.? CouRage and?TmarTn [https://twitter.com/TmarTn] came up with their own set of reasons for how Fortnite has done this. Even game developers have commented on the tweet, showing how it holds true. We have already seen the latest free BR by Ubisoft Hyper Scape. Read More – Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Season 5: New Weapons, Operators and More [https://www.essentiallysports.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-season-5-new-weapons-operators-and-more-news-esports/] HALO MULTIPLAYER IS ALSO GOING TO BE FREE Halo Infinite also saw this opportunity to reach out to more players. It will surely prove to be a brilliant marketing strategy to make the Multiplayer free-to-play. This will not only attract more players but also have a different impact on the eSports scene. Games being free to play is great, but there are some tradeoffs. It has drawbacks, like being more susceptible to people cheating. All these problems do come in the way, nevertheless, free games always dominate in terms of popularity. Source: Daniel Ahmad Twitter [https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1289301227432542210] 

Over the past few years, gaming organizations have followed Fortnite evolving with the BR genre and the free aspect of games which make it more accessible.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Call of Duty 2022: <i><b>Modern Warfare II</b></i></h2>
<h3 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Call of Duty: History and Sale in 2022</h3>
Over the span of two decades, the phrase 'Call of Duty' has become a household name. Starting in 2003, Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision.

The franchise has given rise to some of the most popular FPS titles, with Infinity Ward and Treyarch developing most of them. Sledgehammer Games and other studios have also contributed to developing some titles. Fans are greeted with a new Call of Duty game every year, with the above-mentioned studios rotating their role as the primary developer.

First-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was created by Infinity Ward and released by Activision in 2022. It serves as the nineteenth entry in the overall Call of Duty franchise and is a follow-up to the 2019 reboot. For the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, it was published on October 28, 2022.

The game takes place in a realistic, contemporary environment, just like its predecessor. The campaign centers on the pursuit of terrorist Hassan Zyani, who is in possession of American-made ballistic missiles, by multinational special operations unit Task Force 141 and Mexican Special Forces unit Los Vaqueros. Modern Warfare II continues to offer cross-platform multiplayer thanks to a new iteration of the IW engine.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II became the fastest-selling Call of Duty game of all time. The game grossed $800 million in its first three days and $1 billion in 10 days, surpassing the series' previous record holders, 2011's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and 2012's Black Ops II. It is the best-selling game of 2022 in the United States.
In the UK, Modern Warfare II became the best-selling game in its first week of release. In Japan, the PlayStation 4 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II sold 24,371 physical copies during its release week, making it the second best-selling game in the country for the week. The Sony PlayStation 5 version sold 17,710 physical copies in Japan in the same week, ranking sixth among video game sales across all formats.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II had the biggest opening quarter in franchise history, earning $1.85 billion. This is $694 million more than last year in the last quarter of 2021.

The 2019 title is a reboot of the Modern Warfare series and also the sixteenth main entry into the overall Call of Duty series. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, Modern Warfare was released globally on October 25, 2019, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The gameplay takes place in a modern-day and realistic setting. Although set in a distinct timeline from the other Modern Warfare games, several popular characters from the Modern Warfare subseries including Capt. John Price made their return.
<h3><strong>Call of Duty: Warzone</strong></h3>
On March 10, 2020, Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and Activision released a free-to-play battle royale extension of 2019's Modern Warfare known as Warzone. Since its release, Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as one of the most prominent battle royale titles.

Despite being a part of Modern Warfare, the battle royale extension does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the franchise's history, following the Blackout mode from 2018's Black Ops 4.

This battle royale features 150 players in a lobby, (200 in some limited-time modes) which is much more compared to the 100 players supported by other battle royale titles. Within the first month of its release, Warzone exceeded 50 million players and has kept gaining immense popularity ever since.
<h3><strong>Warzone 2.0</strong></h3>
Infinity Ward and Raven Software created the free-to-play battle royale video game Warzone 2.0. It is a follow-up to Call of Duty: Warzone from 2020.

The game supports cross-platform play and adds the DMZ extraction mode.
<h3><strong>Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War</strong></h3>
Black Ops Cold War is the newest iteration in the Call of Duty franchise. The game, jointly developed by Treyarch Studios and Raven Software, launched worldwide on November 13, 2020.

The gameplay takes place during the 80s when the Cold War was at its peak. In addition to bringing back the elements of the Black Ops subseries, popular characters from the subseries also make their return. Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, and Frank Woods come together to prevent a possible global war.

Black Ops Cold War is the seventeenth installment in the overall series and the sixth in the Black Ops series. In December 2020, the developers integrated Black Ops Cold War with Call of Duty Warzone.

<h2>Call of Duty Warzone 2022: Updates, System Requirements, and Mobile Version</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-541201" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210205225943/call-of-duty-warzone-screenshot-001.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as of the most prominent battle royale games since releasing on March 10, 2020. It is a free-to-play battle royale developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software, with Activision acting as the publisher.

Warzone is part of the franchise's 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, the battle royale does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the Call of Duty franchise, following the Blackout mode from the 2018 title Black Ops 4.
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone Gameplay</h2>
Warzone hosts online multiplayer combat amongst up to 150 players in a match. This is significantly higher than the maximum player count of other titles in the genre. The players jump into a huge map called Verdansk, a fictional city roughly based on Donetsk, Ukraine.

Warzone features two main game modes, including Battle Royale and Plunder. While the game only featured BR Trios initially, Infinity Ward added the Solo, Duos, and Quads modes to their battle royale in post-launch updates.

Infinity Ward introduced a new in-game currency mechanic called Cash. Warzone's gameplay centers on searching supply boxes for weapons and Cash. Players can use their Cash at Buy Stations to buy back fallen teammates, Loadout drops, in-game Equipment, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, etc.

They can also complete contracts that award instant in-game rewards, including loot, Cash, XP, and more. Moreover, Warzone implemented a new respawn mechanic. Once a player gets killed, they’ll find themselves in the Gulag. Here they must win a 1v1 round against another player to redeploy automatically. Otherwise, they will have to wait for their squadmates to purchase redeployment for them.
<h4>Warzone: Battle Royale and Plunder</h4>
The BR mode's gameplay is similar to other titles in the genre. Players jump out of a plane and land somewhere on Verdansk, armed with only a handgun. Once on the ground, they begin searching for weapons to fight off the rest of the players in the match and become the last man/squad standing as the playable zone constantly keeps shrinking.

Meanwhile, "Plunder" is a game mode entirely unique to Warzone and is based on the in-game currency. In this new mode, players have to gather the most Cash scattered around the map before time runs out.

Besides these two main game modes, Warzone has seen several other exciting limited-time modes since its launch. Some of those modes include BR Buy Backs, Blood Money, Warzone Rumble, Mini Royale, Juggernaut Royale, Armored Royale, and Zombies Royale.
<h2><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Important game settings and setup for COD: Warzone</span></h2>
In multiplayer games, success depends on a combination of skill and hardware performance. So enacting the following <a href="https://www.thegamer.com/call-duty-warzone-settings-improve-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changes</a> may improve your overall gameplay experience.
<ul>
 	<li>Crossplay: This will allow players to game with people across a plethora of platforms. As such, differences in setups and performance can make or break the experience. So choose as per your preference.</li>
 	<li>Automatic Sprint: Warzone offers three settings for sprinting. Disabled, which leads to the character only sprinting when the button is pressed. Automatic Sprint, which makes the character immediately start sprinting upon movement. And Automatic Tactical Sprint, which does the same for tactical sprinting as the automatic sprint option. Players should choose according to their play styles.</li>
 	<li>Sensitivity: Jumping right into the gameplay without adjusting your sensitivity can cost you. As gameplay can be greatly improved and made to feel more responsive by adjusting this feature. Especially for players who use different sensitivity settings for each game.</li>
 	<li>Depleted Ammo Weapon Switch: This lets players immediately switch to their secondary weapon when their beginning weapon is depleted. It can be a boon in intense gunfights.</li>
 	<li>Square Mini Map: This is a lifesaver. Players who have the round mini map equipped have a limited area visible to them. The square map expands this. And it has no drawbacks.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Story of COD: Warzone</span></h2>
The in-game terrorist organisation Al-Qatala took a death blow after the events of Spec Ops. However, they struck the critical weakness of the armistice, its structure made up of opposing enemy factions. After an incident downs important cargo containing a chemical weapon, another faction war <a href="https://gamewith.net/cod-modernwarfare/article/show/18908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">erupts</a> between the Allegiance and Coalition members for ownership of the weapon.

With the Armistice in disarray Al-Qatala takes advantage of the situation and smuggles a nuclear weapon into Verdansk. The conflict escalated into an all-out war and not even Captain Price's trusted operators can handle it on their own.
<h2><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">2022 updates for COD:Warzone</span></h2>
Call of Duty: Warzone is set to receive a flood of post launch content in 2022. The Season 2 <a href="https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2022/03/call-of-duty-vanguard-warzone-season-two-reloaded-rebirth-island" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reloaded</a> package includes new modes, operators, and more. Rebirth island's altered alongside several points of interest, and a whole new POI called Dock is introduced.

The weekly playlists would also feature Payload, Blood Money, and a Resurgence solos mode. Additionally, the Rebirth Reinforced Event will feature Weapon Trade Stations and offer rewards to the entire community. New weapons such as the Armaguerra 43 SMG would tear across the battlefield alongside the fresh Snoop Dogg operator.
<h2><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Some Tips and Tricks for COD: Warzone season 2</span></h2>
As Warzone continues to be a colossal hit amongst the fanbase, players are always stepping up their game. Here are some easy <a href="https://www.pocket-lint.com/games/news/activision/151507-call-of-duty-warzone-tips-and-tricks-essential-hints" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tips</a> that may improve your experience with the title.
<ul>
 	<li>Check the map before dropping: It may sound unimportant, but this step can determine how the rest of your playthrough would go. From checking for the shrinking circle to determining where you would encounter most resistance. This is an essential step.</li>
 	<li>Drop faster: There's a nifty trick to hastening your arrival on the battlefield. Players can deploy their parachute upon dropping from the plane, however, they can cut the chord to drop faster and re-deploy the chute before landing. As many times as they like.</li>
 	<li>Don't sit on cash: There are no bonuses in BR games for hoarding your cash. Its worth is only measurable in terms of how well you use it in the round. Ensure you use it on the Buy Stations to give yourself an edge as opposed to lugging it around.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Warzone on mobile</h2>
<a href="https://www.techradar.com/in/news/call-of-duty-warzone-on-mobile">TechRadar</a> pointed out two key pieces of evidence that indicate a mobile port of Call of Duty: Warzone coming in the future.

In May 2020, Activision's CEO confirmed the company was working on publishing more mobile games. The community was quick to emphasize the plural "games", suggesting Warzone Mobile could be on the way.

Meanwhile, the second hint is from Reddit, with the creation of the r/WarzoneMobile sub-Reddit. The community lead for the COD Mobile team is the moderator for it, and the forum seems official rather than fan-created.
<div class="slot-double-height-10-496" data-feat-ref="bordeaux-feat-id-65">The first post in r/Warzone Mobile was from the community lead. It detailed a job listing intended for a Call of Duty: Warzone mobile port. Activision hiring team members for developing the mobile port strongly points to the game being on its way.</div>
<div data-feat-ref="bordeaux-feat-id-65"></div>
<div class="slot-double-height-10-496" data-feat-ref="bordeaux-feat-id-65">Call of Duty posted a blog <a href="https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2022/03/Join-us-in-building-Call-of-Duty-Warzone-for-mobile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> in March 2022 asking for people to join their growing, award-winning team of mobile veterans and emerging talent on an ambitious mission to bring Warzone to gamers on the go. But the blog post was not very indicative of a potential release date.</div>
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone download</h2>
Within two months of release, Warzone downloads reached the 60 million mark. Since then, the game has continued growing and has become one of the most popular battle royales in the gaming market.

Warzone is available to download for free on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC. For those who already own Modern Warfare, downloading the battle royale is straightforward. Warzone is available as an option between multiplayer and Spec Ops upon entering the main menu.

Meanwhile, non-owners on consoles can visit their respective digital stores and search for "Warzone". Those on Desktop require installing Blizzard's Battle.net app and registering to play the game. Warzone will appear in the games list as an option on the left side. Since the BR includes many Modern Warfare assets, its file size is between 83-101 GB.
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone Free Multiplayer Weekends</h2>
Throughout the life span of Call of Duty: Warzone, Infinity Ward and Activision have rolled out Free Multiplayer Weekends. During this particular time span, free-to-play Warzone users get free access to the multiplayer content exclusive to Modern Warfare.

Usually, a special playlist becomes available within the standalone battle royale, Warzone. The last such Free Multiplayer Weekend was in early August 2020, as part of Modern Warfare Season Five.

Players jump out of a plane and land somewhere on Verdansk, armed with only a handgun. Once on the ground, they begin searching for weapons to fight off the rest of the players in the match and become the last man/squad standing as the playable zone constantly keeps shrinking. Meanwhile, &#8220;Plunder&#8221; is a game mode entirely unique to Warzone and is based on the in-game currency. In this new mode, players have to gather the most Cash scattered around the map before time runs out. Besides these two main game modes, Warzone has seen several other exciting limited-time modes since its launch. Some of those modes include BR Buy Backs, Blood Money, Warzone Rumble, Mini Royale, Juggernaut Royale, Armored Royale, and Zombies Royale. Important game settings and setup for COD: Warzone In multiplayer games, success depends on a combination of skill and hardware performance. So enacting the following changes may improve your overall gameplay experience. Crossplay: This will allow players to game with people across a plethora of platforms. As such, differences in setups and performance can make or break the experience. So choose as per your preference. Automatic Sprint: Warzone offers three settings for sprinting. Disabled, which leads to the character only sprinting when the button is pressed. Automatic Sprint, which makes the character immediately start sprinting upon movement. And Automatic Tactical Sprint, which does the same for tactical sprinting as the automatic sprint option. Players should choose according to their play styles. Sensitivity: Jumping right into the gameplay without adjusting your sensitivity can cost you. As gameplay can be greatly improved and made to feel more responsive by adjusting this feature. Especially for players who use different sensitivity settings for each game. Depleted Ammo Weapon Switch: This lets players immediately switch to their secondary weapon when their beginning weapon is depleted. It can be a boon in intense gunfights. Square Mini Map: This is a lifesaver. Players who have the round mini map equipped have a limited area visible to them. The square map expands this. And it has no drawbacks. Story of COD: Warzone The in-game terrorist organisation Al-Qatala took a death blow after the events of Spec Ops. However, they struck the critical weakness of the armistice, its structure made up of opposing enemy factions. After an incident downs important cargo containing a chemical weapon, another faction war erupts between the Allegiance and Coalition members for ownership of the weapon. With the Armistice in disarray Al-Qatala takes advantage of the situation and smuggles a nuclear weapon into Verdansk. The conflict escalated into an all-out war and not even Captain Price&#8217;s trusted operators can handle it on their own. 2022 updates for COD:Warzone Call of Duty: Warzone is set to receive a flood of post launch content in 2022. The Season 2 Reloaded package includes new modes, operators, and more. Rebirth island&#8217;s altered alongside several points of interest, and a whole new POI called Dock is introduced. The weekly playlists would also feature Payload, Blood Money, and a Resurgence solos mode. Additionally, the Rebirth Reinforced Event will feature Weapon Trade Stations and offer rewards to the entire community. New weapons such as the Armaguerra 43 SMG would tear across the battlefield alongside the fresh Snoop Dogg operator. Some Tips and Tricks for COD: Warzone season 2 As Warzone continues to be a colossal hit amongst the fanbase, players are always stepping up their game. Here are some easy tips that may improve your experience with the title. Check the map before dropping: It may sound unimportant, but this step can determine how the rest of your playthrough would go. From checking for the shrinking circle to determining where you would encounter most resistance. This is an essential step. Drop faster: There&#8217;s a nifty trick to hastening your arrival on the battlefield. Players can deploy their parachute upon dropping from the plane, however, they can cut the chord to drop faster and re-deploy the chute before landing. As many times as they like. Don&#8217;t sit on cash: There are no bonuses in BR games for hoarding your cash. Its worth is only measurable in terms of how well you use it in the round. Ensure you use it on the Buy Stations to give yourself an edge as opposed to lugging it around. Warzone on mobile TechRadar pointed out two key pieces of evidence that indicate a mobile port of Call of Duty: Warzone coming in the future. In May 2020, Activision&#8217;s CEO confirmed the company was working on publishing more mobile games. The community was quick to emphasize the plural &#8220;games&#8221;, suggesting Warzone Mobile could be on the way. Meanwhile, the second hint is from Reddit, with the creation of the r/WarzoneMobile sub-Reddit. The community lead for the COD Mobile team is the moderator for it, and the forum seems official rather than fan-created. The first post in r/Warzone Mobile was from the community lead. It detailed a job listing intended for a Call of Duty: Warzone mobile port. Activision hiring team members for developing the mobile port strongly points to the game being on its way. Call of Duty posted a blog post in March 2022 asking for people to join their growing, award-winning team of mobile veterans and emerging talent on an ambitious mission to bring Warzone to gamers on the go. But the blog post was not very indicative of a potential release date. Call of Duty: Warzone download Within two months of release, Warzone downloads reached the 60 million mark. Since then, the game has continued growing and has become one of the most popular battle royales in the gaming market. Warzone is available to download for free on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC. For those who already own Modern Warfare, downloading the battle royale is straightforward. Warzone is available as an option between multiplayer and Spec Ops upon entering the main menu. Meanwhile, non-owners on consoles can visit their respective digital stores and search for &#8220;Warzone&#8221;. Those on Desktop require installing Blizzard&#8217;s Battle.net app and registering to play the game. Warzone will appear in the games list as an option on the left side. Since the BR includes many Modern Warfare assets, its file size is between 83-101 GB. Call of Duty: Warzone Free Multiplayer Weekends Throughout the life span of Call of Duty: Warzone, Infinity Ward and Activision have rolled out Free Multiplayer Weekends. During this particular time span, free-to-play Warzone users get free access to the multiplayer content exclusive to Modern Warfare. Usually, a special playlist becomes available within the standalone battle royale, Warzone. The last such Free Multiplayer Weekend was in early August 2020, as part of Modern Warfare Season Five.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Epic Games poster game Fortnite was released back in 2017 as a third-person tactical shooter and it was just what Battle Royale fans needed. For years now, it has been known as a shooting adventure, especially for its Battle Royale mode. And the popularity has only grown since, thanks to all the efforts by developer, Epic Games. This has helped bring an exhilarating lineup of collaborations and celebrity features to the Fortnite island.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Epic Games classic lets the players explore an open-world environment where the purpose is to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-these-ten-expensive-fortnite-skins-sent-fans-on-a-spending-spree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survive against other characters (skins)</a> through constant combat and some light-hearted graphical violence which has appealed to a lot of young gamers. The arsenal and combat essentials in the open world have only evolved with time and players have been introduced to new innovative load-outs, essentials, features, and movements from time to time. Let's have a look at how Fortnite has progressed as the biggest â€˜third-person-shooter Battle Royale since its infamous launch in 2017.Â </span>
<h2><strong>Fortnite Structure</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In contrast to other multiplayer games, Fortnite features a single, sizable map that is exclusive to that season. In actuality, you won't likely run into too many other players early on in the game. But as the game goes on, a ring on the map gradually gets closer to the center. Your character will perish if you are discovered outside the ring.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Fortnite is comparable to games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Apex Legends. It does, however, have one special quality. In Fortnite, you can build constructions with your character as you go. In the game, this lets you place traps, construct forts, and provide cover. Further, in contrast to other battle royale games, Fortnite requires you to become an expert shooter and builder.</span>
<h2><strong>StorylineÂ </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It all took off with the Zero Point or as the game calls it The Big Bang which created the universe spawning in trillions of different realities and among all these alternative realities was the center reality zero aka the Fortnite island. This is the home of the zero point, an island that it created to protect itself from any threat. Well, it worked for a while until a mysterious group called the imagined order found out about it and decided to move to the island.Â </span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2363482 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fortnite-planes-leak.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The group created a whole bunch of secret underground bases which they could access through the bunkers. The secret society used Zero point energy to create a loop that forces people to fight against each other for 22 minutes and then it resets their memory. The IO group are the ones looking after the island and keeping everything in order. However, the twist begins when there are multiple attacks on the island by different enemies seeking zero-point energy.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The storyline starts before the time of Battle Royale when Dr Vindermann, the scientist, finds out about some crazy advancements in the science lab called the Vindertech. He was also the creator of V bucks, Battle Pass and all the weapons players can access on the island. Before Season 3, no player was aware of the loop on the island. Also, the original default skins were actually the snapshots of the agents of IO, later explained in the storyline.Â </span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3><strong>The MeteorÂ </strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">On May 1st, 2018, the Fortnite world witnessed its first attack when the meteor struck the center of the map destroying Dusty Divot and the factors while smaller meteors destroyed other structures on the island.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2388617 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fortnite-meteor.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The impact also introduced hop rocks, which players could consume to experience low gravity effects. Following this event, the narrative continued to evolve with subsequent seasons. The Zero Point became a central element, leading to events like the butterfly event, the Nexus War, and the ongoing struggle against the Loop. Each season brought new story elements, collaborations, and changes to the Fortnite island.</span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3><strong>The CubeÂ </strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">An official character of the cube, commonly referred to as â€œKevinâ€ proved its vitality in Fortniteâ€™s plot. The smoke monster has been featured since season five when a huge crack opened up in the sky and released it into the island. Therefore, the cube moved across the map creating Runes and visiting diverse places. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">While traveling, the cube switched on Loot Lake, which turned it into a floating one. Ultimately it melted into the lake forming whirlpools taking players to another world. Subsequently, it continued to serve as a center stage in season six where â€œbutterflyâ€ was organized and the cube recurred in other shapes in succeeding seasons.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The mysterious nature behind the cube helped to add mystique and magic to the Fortnite storyline. It also ensured that the events on the island were shaped by the presence of this cube.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Subsequently, Fortnite went on with its storyline which involved different scenarios. At this point, the ZERO PT was made central as The Seven, an ensemble of guys trying to keep the multiverse stable, came into play. This story unfolded in the Butterfly event in Season 6, depicting the clash of various powers.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2388620 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/rocket-fortnite.jpeg" alt="" width="680" height="383" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Foundation was added in subsequent seasons and became key during the Zero Crisis Finale that kicked off Chapter 2, Season 6. IO turned out to be one of the major forces struggling with the disorder caused by the Zero Point.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">There were further happenings like the season when the â€œIOâ€ forces invaded and introduced the cube queen whom they had been fighting a continuous war on the loop.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">These two events opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to the island bringing collisions of different universes across the globe to the island. A huge advantage these two attacks on Zero Energy brought was the liberty to bring on many top-tier collaborations to the game.Â </span>
<h2><strong>Notable Collaborations</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As mentioned earlier, a lot of the limelight Fortnite enjoys is attributed to the top-tier lineup of collaborations that have been introduced in the game throughout. From unexpected Easter eggs to some big celebrity skins, there's a never-ending lineup that fans can look back on to celebrate the branding of Fortnite. Let us look at some of the collaborations that still remain the most memorable of all.Â </span>

Also, the original default skins were actually the snapshots of the agents of IO, later explained in the storyline.Â   The MeteorÂ   On May 1st, 2018, the Fortnite world witnessed its first attack when the meteor struck the center of the map destroying Dusty Divot and the factors while smaller meteors destroyed other structures on the island. The impact also introduced hop rocks, which players could consume to experience low gravity effects. Following this event, the narrative continued to evolve with subsequent seasons.

The CubeÂ   An official character of the cube, commonly referred to as â€œKevinâ€ proved its vitality in Fortniteâ€™s plot. The smoke monster has been featured since season five when a huge crack opened up in the sky and released it into the island. Therefore, the cube moved across the map creating Runes and visiting diverse places. While traveling, the cube switched on Loot Lake, which turned it into a floating one. Ultimately it melted into the lake forming whirlpools taking players to another world. Subsequently, it continued to serve as a center stage in season six where â€œbutterflyâ€ was organized and the cube recurred in other shapes in succeeding seasons. The mysterious nature behind the cube helped to add mystique and magic to the Fortnite storyline. It also ensured that the events on the island were shaped by the presence of this cube. Subsequently, Fortnite went on with its storyline which involved different scenarios.

<h2>Halo Infinite 2021: Release Date, Multiplayer, Gameplay, and Price</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-262911" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200506000837/Halo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Halo Infinite is the latest addition to the Halo franchise. Infinite is the fourteenth overall Halo title developed by 343 Studios and the sixth edition of the main Halo series.

The developers first revealed the game at E3 2018 with an initial trailer. The trailer carried forward the story from Halo 5: Guardians which will continue the story of the Master Chief.

Just like other Halo titles, Infinite will also be a Microsoft exclusive. Therefore, it will be available exclusively on Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and the new-gen Xbox Series S|X.
<h2>Halo Infinite budget and release date</h2>
343 Studio had initially announced the release date for the latest Halo title as November 2020. There are rumors that Infinite has put the biggest dent in 343 Studio's treasury by far as compared to all other Halo titles. The game allegedly cost the developers $500 million to make.

Initially, the game was to launch alongside the new-gen Xbox consoles. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date had to be pushed indefinitely.

At E3 2021, Microsoft affirmed a Holiday 2021 release timeline for Halo Infinite. Complete with a single-player campaign and free multiplayer, the game will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.

During Xbox's 20th Anniversary celebrations on November 15, 2021, 343 pulled off a stunning move by releasing a beta version of the game's multiplayer mode to the public. The final release date for the game was confirmed as December 8, 2021.
<h2>Halo Infinite price</h2>
The disc version of the game for the Xbox Series X is listed on Amazon US for $59.99. The price for the Halo Infinite PC is also expected to be similar. Moreover, the game will also be a part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The multiplayer co-op mode of the game will be available free of cost, but the campaign mode will be paid.
<h2>Halo Infinite download and gameplay</h2>
343 Studio revealed the initial gameplay footage of the game during the Showcase Xbox Series X July event. The campaign mode of the game has an open-world setting.

The open-world setting will work through a backtracking mechanism where players can unlock new areas as they progress. Once they have these areas, they will always have to explore as much of the map as they have unlocked.

The story of the game is a continuation of Halo 5: Guardians. While there is still a lot of ambiguity over Infinite's story, there are a few things that fans know.

Firstly, the story will take place on the Zeta Halo, which is one of the remaining Halo rings. More information from the E3 2019 trailer shows a stranded pelican pilot rescuing the Master Chief. These are the prominent characters of the storyline who discuss a past battle that destroyed one of the Halo Rings.

The battle was against the 'Banished Faction' that initially appeared in the spinoff Halo Wars 2. The Banished are most likely to be the antagonist of this story as well.

The local campaign co-op of Infinite in a two-player mode will once again feature a split-screen mode.

The developers had removed this popular mode in the previous game. However, they faced a lot of backlash due to this decision and have therefore decided to re-introduce the mode in the latest edition.
<h2>Halo Infinite multiplayer</h2>
During the Xbox &amp; Bethesda showcase at E3 2021, 343 Industries provided a deep dive into the game's PvP aspect with an elaborate multiplayer gameplay reveal. The most exciting revelation was perhaps that Halo Infinite's multiplayer will be free-to-play.

There will be two multiplayer modes including Arena and Big Team Battle. While the first mode will feature 4-player squads, the latter suits sandbox-style gameplay with more combat possibilities. Players will get to create and configure their own Spartan hero, thanks to the comprehensive customization system.

Armors, weapons, vehicles, everything will have a variety of customization options, but it will primarily aid the cosmetic appeal. Equipment is making a return with Halo Infinite, and the grappling hook is one such thing. The developers have added a new Razorback vehicle, which can mount larger pieces of equipment and weapons on its rear.

Besides, the free multiplayer mode will include a battle pass which will never expire once purchased. Cross-platform play and cross-progression will also be two other features that Halo Infinite will launch with. Microsoft has also confirmed that the game's multiplayer will support up to 120 FPS on Xbox Series X.
