Fortnite Will Be Out in 2017, Says Tim Sweeney
Since a technical test back in 2015, we haven't heard much about Fortnite, Epic's take on both tower-defense shooters and Minecraft. At this year's Game Developers Conference, we finally got something: a release year.
As PC Gamer reports, Epic Games co-founder Tim Sweeney mentioned the game would be out "in the year ahead." The comment was dropped somewhat offhandedly, but a representative confirmed to PC Gamer that 2017 was in fact the correct date for the game.

Our Take
I'll believe it when I see it.
For a refresher on Fortnite, check out our cover story from a couple of years ago.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
