Epic Games has big things planned

While this comes as a massive opportunity for players to earn cosmetic rewards for both games, it also presents Epic’s brilliant foresight. Epic have a clear-cut vision with Fortnite; they want it to be a substitute to the real world. And in their attempt to do so, Epic have brought a lot of real-life elements like live concerts, to movie collaborations to the game.
The Rocket Games collaboration shows how far Epic are prepared to go with their flagship title. The event will unite two of the biggest realms in the gaming world. Hopefully, the live concert will top it off with a grand celebration.
