What is Fortnite and does the video game have an age rating certificate?

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.

Fortnite, certified for those aged 12 and over, also includes a mode called Battle Royale in which 100 online players are put in a battlefield to fight until death - when just one player remains.
