The live-service free-roam looter-shooter genre is buzzing right now, thanks to Fortnite’s latest announcement. There has been a lot of growth in not only the number but also the types of games within this genre, but the game remains one of the biggest names in the space.
Call of Duty: Warzone is a close second, and many argue it even overtakes the Epic Games release at times. The presentation of the two games is different, but they offer similar experiences. However, one might now pull ahead, and fans are eager to see it!
Fans Believe Fortnite Reload Could Bury Competitors Including Warzone
The key to creating a successful live-service shooting title is to offer new content consistently. Not only does this keep players coming back for new challenges, but it also helps to build a perception of quality and consistency, which could bring in new players.
After a successful collaboration with one of the biggest bands in history, Epic wants to capitalize on the moment with a dose of sweet nostalgia. So, the company introduced Fortnite Reload, a spiritual return to the OG version of the game. This was not entirely unexpected in the community, as Epic has previously stated the original would be making a comeback in 2024.
While this is great news for those who enjoy the original version of the game, it has also fueled the fire for people to begin a competition between the upcoming game and Warzone. Both battle royales have been going neck and neck, but fans believe the OG version might prevail.
Others are commenting on how an OG version is dropping before we have even gotten a GTA 6.
One fan has called out everything wrong in Warzone currently, due to which they have decided to try out the new version.
And others agree that the end of Warzone may be imminent with the release of this new mode.
Overall, people are happy there is some healthy competition occurring within the space, which should result in more interesting games being released in the future.
The Original Version of the Game Will Be Added as a New Mode
The great thing about Fortnite OG is that fans can already play the game! The announcement happened just yesterday, and the release for the game was revealed to be June 22. This should keep battle royale fans happy, but hopefully it doesn’t create a situation where every developer feels their game needs this mode to be successful.
Epic Games seems to be making many right moves with its battle royale title, as it was earlier revealed players can join any server in tournaments. This means region locks will no longer restrict players from engaging in tournament matches aside from those in the Champion Series.
However, not everything is going great for the game, as there are criticisms from the fans that Epic should take on board. One of the recent complaints is how similar the game is to Call of Duty, especially when it comes to weapon customization.
