Fortnite Battle Royale’s map is getting more defined biomes, more locations

Nice!

Epic is putting a lot of other studios to shame when it comes to transparency regarding their latest project, Fortnite. In addition to open communication on their forums, they also put out a heap of development update videos with game footage and incorporate user questions into the mix.

The latest update involves changes to the Battle Royale map, most notably more defined biomes (“the swamp will feel swampier”), and more locations on the west side, including a new city. The map is also slated for plenty more updates beyond this change.

Fornite is still my Battle Royale game of choice and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Much of it is due to Epic’s development process, which makes it easier to commit when I know they’re in it for the long haul.
