We've got all the details on the upcoming update, including release date, features and improvements.

What is Fortnite Battle Royale and does it have an age rating?

Fortnite is an online video game set in a dystopian world where 98 per cent of Earth's population suddenly disappears.

Living conditions have become unbearable and zombie-like creatures roam the Earth in this sandbox game where players are among the remaining two per cent fighting for survival.

After the apocalypse, 'survivor bases' were set-up and each player is in charge of looking after these bases before trying to find a way to return Earth to normal.
