Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone are currently two of the biggest names in the battle royale genre. While they may both be in the same genre, these games do not share many similarities.
On one hand, Fortnite is a cartoonish third-person shooter with a host of elements such as crafting, hunting, and fishing. On the other hand, Warzone stays true to its roots. It provides a realistic first-person shooter experience in the setting of Verdansk. Fortnite took over as the most popular game in 2017-2018. The game even created major gaming stars such as Ninja and Nickmercs. Upon its release in 2017, there was no game quite like Fortnite and there still isn’t.
Epic Games added the aspect of building, which made the game unique in its category. Most people might think that Fortnite is still the most popular game after all the success that it has had with its recent Marvel and DC collaborations. However, according to a survey of almost 10,000 teens conducted by Yahoo, Warzone has eclipsed Fortnite’s popularity.

With its highly reputed brand name, it is no surprise to see Call of Duty come out on top in a popularity contest. Additionally, it offers a more authentic shooting experience compared to the more animated Fortnite. Despite the fact that Warzone is more popular than Fortnite right now, that isn’t to say that it will be a permanent state of affairs.
