Clue and Guess Who head to Fortnite

It’s time to flip some faces and figure out the murderer, as Clue, Guess Who, and Connect Four are all heading to Fortnite in the coming months. Clue is the first Hasbro game to launch in Fortnite, and Guess Who comes to the battle royale title later in October.

A refresh of the games

Launching today, Murder Mystery: Clue has players in round-based gameplay and a countdown timer. Everyone has different roles, such as the Killer, Detective, and Guest, and each one has a different win condition. The developer Look North World says, “This new take on Clue offers a highly replayable experience, blending nostalgia with engaging gameplay that resonates with today’s players” in the press release.

Guess Who comes to Fortnite later this month, while we’ll have to wait until December for Connect Four. This move is to help pivot Hasbro’s classic games to a modern audience. Apparently, they will be “offering a fresh twist that reimagines these classic board games.”

“We are excited to work with Hasbro, a brand that understands the power of user-generated content as a unique opportunity to connect with passionate gamers,” said Look North World Founder and CEO Alex Seropian.

Seropian helped create Bungie, the studio that developed the legendary Halo and Destiny series. Now, Look North World is creating content for Fortnite and premium mods for ARK: Survival Ascended.

Hasbro claimed in 2023 that Clue is the second-most popular board game in the world. It has sold over 150 million copies in its lifetime. It also has a new live-action film on the way by director James Bobin and 20th Century Studios. The game itself has been around for over 70 years and was created by Anthony Pratt during World War 2.
