There's a trailer on the official site which can also be seen here:

Eurogamer staff wrote:Fortnite's garnered a fair amount of interest due to the fact that it's provided the first sighting of Unreal Engine 4 technology. It's a pleasure, then, to find out that the game itself sounds pretty promising, too.

It's a game of two halves: scavenge and explore sandboxy environments during the day, and then head back to your base to shore up its perimeter and prepare for hordes of monsters when night falls. Blending elements from tower defence titles and Minecraft before wrapping everything up in a chunky CGI kids' show aesthetic, Fortnite could be brilliant.


Make no mistake about it, the art direction is bad. Not Mark of the Ninja bad (1/5), but Team Fortress 2 bad (2/5). Still too ugly for me to bear playing it for any considerable length of time.

Sal Romano wrote:The alpha test for Fortnite will run from December 2 to 19, Epic Games announced.

The alpha phase for the free-to-play PC game will make sure all the basics are in working order. Epic warns that the game is still “rough around the edges,” but that it’ll benefit from the early feedback.

Invites are going out now, with more prepared to go out later this week. Some of those invited will receive friend invites to share. If you haven’t registered for the alpha yet, you can sign up at the Fortnite website.
