A storm of howling wind and crackling light changed the face of civilization. Waves of monsters overtook humanity and pushed the survivors into hiding. Only a select few have the knowhow, weapons, and will to push back. Welcome to Fortnite, which launches July 25 on PS4 — with early access starting today with a pre-order.

Developed by the team at Epic Games, Fortnite combines fluid base building with third-person action. Gather supplies, build forts, and defend them against an onslaught of ghoulish creatures. With tons of loot to find and heroes to level up, Fortnite has all the ingredients to be a gaming obsession.
