The last time Fornite surfaced was at the 2011 Video Game Awards in December and all we had then was a trailer. Over the last seven months Epic Games has kept a tight lid on Fornite and has revealed nothing about it. The first trailer for the game was cinematic and only revealed that it is a zombie game, of sorts, and involves survivors building a fort. The survivors scavenge by day to find materials and defend at night. Other than those two tid bits of basic information we have had nothing on Fornite, until last week, when Epic Games revealed a little bit more, but mostly just the first in-game screenshots. If you didn't see the trailer for Fornite you might expect this to be another dark and bloody title by Epic Games, but it certainly is a much lighter take. Check out the first screenshot.

Despite the lack of new written information on Fornite, there has been a bit revealed through Comic Con and the Epic Games Podcast. One of the first things revealed about Fornite is that it will be using the Unreal Engine 4 (UE4). A big surprise is that Fornite is going to be PC exclusive, even though most initially thought it would be a console exclusive, like Epic Games most recent games. They were originally planning Fornite to be a game that would be quickly developed and put out into the market, mainly just to see how people how received the idea of the game, but Epic Games liked the idea so much that it has become a more substantial title. The world of Fornite is supposed to a sandbox style open world, where you have your hub (presumably your fort), and there will be unique items all over the city to scavenge, which will you bring back to your fort in order to improve it.
