Epic er så begejstrede for deres kommende Fortnite, at de holder kortene tæt til kroppen og ikke vil overeksponere det, før de virkelig kan vise spillets gameplay frem i den rette kontekst.
Det forklarer vice president Mark Rein i et interview med CVG, hvor han også siger, at spillet muligvis er det bedste, studiet endnu har lavet.
Rein forklarer, at de første Unreal Engine 4-demoer, Epic lavede, brugte grafik og modeller fra Fortnite, men det ændrede de i sidste øjeblik: "With your first impression of it, you need to understand what it is. So if you don't do that you sort of ruin people's first impression of it. So I said, 'we can't use Fortnite stuff' and they created all of this new content".
Rein siger, at lige nu er Epic "focused solely on the engine but we're working on Fortnite -- which might be the best thing we've ever done. It's because it's so good that we're going to take our time with it, then we're going to have a very slow rollout of it, get a few hundred people to play it and do cool things. It's got such a long lifespan that we just don't want to rush it".
