Fortnite’s The Foundation has caught a lot of attention (and praise) ever since he was introduced to the storyline. Played by Dwayne Johnson, the character instantly became a hit. Moreover, Dwayne Johnson will reportedly feature at the upcoming Summer Game Fest (June 9) to talk Fortnite and promote his upcoming movie. 

Fortnite is, no doubt, one of the most popular Battle Royale titles of all time. The success of the franchise could be attributed partially to regular updates, new content, and exciting cosmetics that fans can collect. However, we also love the premise, which although is complicated, has been carried forward gracefully.
