Fortnite's Origins Timeline

You are helping Freya and Keira prepare a short history item for the school radio station. Read the fact file, then use its evidence to sequence events and explain how Fortnite changed over time.

Fact file: How Fortnite began

Epic Games started work on Fortnite in the year after 2010. The first released version, Fortnite: Save the World, arrived in July 2017. It was a cooperative game in which players worked together to defend against creatures. In September 2017, Epic Games released Fortnite Battle Royale as a free-to-play mode. Many players joined, and the mode quickly became widely known. In 2018, Fortnite was a major part of popular culture: players shared dances, watched online streams and talked about the game with friends. Fortnite Creative, a mode for making and exploring player-created islands, launched in December 2018. Fortnite has continued to change, with new features and experiences added over time.
