Fortnite’s new ‘Party Worlds’ put the focus firmly on socializing

"Party Worlds" are new spaces coming to Fortnite which are designed to focus on socializing over combat, the crippled's developer Epic Games has proclaimed. "These are experiences that are designed as places for players to hang out, play fun mini-games, and make new friends," the developer says, adding that Company Worlds cannot be centered on "combat or damage."

To inaugurate the initiative, Epic has collaborated with residential district members fivewalnut and TreyJTH on a match of example Party Worlds. One is an pleasure ground called Walnut tree World, and the second gear is named Late Night Couch and has more of a nightspot vibe. The developer says it's taking submissions for more community-made spaces. Just use the tag "Political party World" for an island, and submit information technology through and through this submission form.

*At that place's a second Party World called 'Late Night Lounge.'*

Party Worlds are Epic's latest attempt to transform Fortnite from a competitive online mettlesome into a broader online sociable space. This has already resulted in many features ranging from one-off events like an in-pun concert from Travis Scott to the combat-free Party Royale mode. Users can besides already create islands to serve American Samoa social spaces sooner than arenas using the plot's Creative modal value. Merely with its latest initiative, Epic appears to be explicitly promoting and encouraging users to make these social-first spaces.

Party Worlds too don't connec out to other islands, so they'rhenium meant arsenic a name and address rather than a "discovery tool."

And yes, this entirely ties in to Epic's plans to make over a so-named "metaverse," a in full united 3D online space for people to exist in. Epic is now far-off from the only company explicitly targeting this future (see as wel: Meta), but the due date of Fortnite's technology, not to mention the game's enduring popularity, average Big's ambitions merit to be taken badly.
