Galactus' Big Bang Witnessed by Millions
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 – Nexus War recently came to an end with a big bang, as players teamed up with the Avengers to defeat the devourer of worlds, Galactus. While the event was the largest Epic Games has held in Fortnite in terms of overall file size, it also attracted a record 15,3 million players. Given that the event included Marvel characters and AC/DC music, it looks like Epic Games took a financial gamble that paid off with the event. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, mobile, Mac and PC.
“We defeated him! A record 15,3 million concurrent players joined forces in our biggest ever event to battle Galactus at today's in-game event,” Epic Games recently posted on the official Fortnite Twitter account. "While over 3,4 million people cheered and watched on YouTube Gaming and Twitch!" Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 ends a season crossover with Marvel and Season 5 is more focused on battle royale roots with some Star Wars influence.
Fortnite has been hosting huge events since Season 3's Meteor event and with the Galactus event in record numbers, it looks like Epic Games' battle royale isn't slowing down anytime soon. Fans of the in-game concerts also had a show to enjoy during Chapter 4 Season 2 on Halloween when J Balvin did a Fortnitemares-themed show. With the release of Chapter 2 Season 5, Epic Games introduced a new battle pass for Fortnite, in addition to skipping several weapons and changing the map in innovative ways.
“Join the hunt. Ground zero has been unearthed and Agent Jones needs the help of the greatest hunters around,” the official Fortnite Twitter account continued. “Fight alongside the Mandalorian, explore new places , complete bounties and stop the chaos.”
