Just roll, lol – Fortnite Monopoly can be right here by Christmas

If you thought that Fortnite had reached the height of its energy, you’ll have been incorrect. Despite the battle royale being playable on seemingly every part from the Nintendo Switch to the Atari VCS (okay, perhaps not), Epic has apparently seen match to invade your tabletops, courtesy of Fortnite Monopoly.

That’s proper, board game large Hasbro has teamed up with Epic Games to mix the household pleasant battle royale with the family-destroying board game.

The second is the lethal storm – storm playing cards could be positioned on areas, and touchdown on them will value you two well being.

Some conventional Monopoly squares are nonetheless round – ‘Go’, ‘Go to Jail’, and ‘Free Parking’ are all there, however Chance and Community Chest have been changed with Launch Pads, Spike Traps, and Fortnite’s iconic glowing chests. Sadly, the normal Monopoly icons, from the Top Hat to the little Dog, have been finished away with – as an alternative, there are a collection of cutouts depicting carious Fortnite skins, which I’m undecided I’m totally on board with.
