Fortnite tells the exciting story of a mysterious island filled with combatants fighting to be the last person or team left standing. It’s not just regular soldiers fighting either, as Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America sometimes appear, occasionally pitted against DC villains like Harley Quinn and the Joker. With each new season comes even zanier developments to the plot, with time travel recently explored alongside the existence of the multiverse. It’s very imaginative stuff, but some apparently think it’s based on real-life events. Is Fortnite based on a true story? Here’s what you need to know.
Is Fortnite inspired by a true story?
No, Fortnite is not based on a true story.
Though there are often real-world battles fought with guns and sometimes with paratroopers, that’s about all there is in common. Fortnite is a fictional story that features many characters from other works of fiction.
Fortnite was originally launched in competition with PUBG, a more gritty realistic take on the battle royale genre. However, even that was arguably inspired by a movie called “Battle Royale” in which high-school students are taken to a remote island and forced to fight to the death until one person is left standing.
What is the “Is Fortnite based on a true story?” meme?
