Fortnite Lands Down Under

Is Fortnite a beachhead for the metaverse?

Seamus ByrneBy Seamus ByrneDecember 9, 2021

With the new Fortnite Lands Down Under creative space to explore in the game, we spoke to two of the creators behind the map – Simon Bell from Alliance Studios and R-leeo Maoate from Zen Creative – to talk about working in the medium of Fortnite and the future of the platform.

We talk about what it means to be a professional Fortnite creative right now, the fun of two studios working together on a uniquely ANZ creative project like this, and we also look at the longer view on the place of Fortnite in the big Metaverse discussions starting to pick up steam after a certain social network changed its name recently.

From the fun to the deep thinking about the potential for the platform in the decade ahead, it’s a great chat for anyone interested in what comes next for online platforms and why you should stop thinking Fortnite is ‘just a game’.
