Fortnite to Finally Launch on Early Access on July 25

After its initial announcement at the Spike Video Game Awards in 2011 and an alpha in late 2014, Fortnite is finally coming to early access. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows on July 25 through each platform’s respective early access program. While the game itself will be free to play on launch, the early access phase will be only open to paid participants. Founder’s Packs are available through Epic Games starting at $39.99 USD. Those who pre-order will get a four day head start on the game.

Fortnite is a third person shooter that mixes sandbox gameplay with wave-based defense against zombie hordes from the Storm. Up to four players will wander the city, scavenging materials and weapons to build their forts. Players can customize forts to suit their playstyle, whether it means funneling zombies into small kill zones for grenade launchers or whittling down the trash mobs with traps while snipers pick off the high value targets from a distance. When the Starm comes, players will need to work together to maintain their fort and survive the attack. With a location based build system and a randomized loot system, Fornite is set to offer massive replay-ability.

RIP Steam Greenlight (2012-2017), Steam Direct Launching June 13

Valve has turned off the lights for Steam Greenlight. The troubled program started a revolution that helped get smaller PC titles on Steam, but also introduced a torrid torrent of asset flips designed to abuse the Steam Trading Card system for profit. Steam Greenlight is no longer accepting new games or votes as of today. Valve is currently looking through the last group of 3,400+ games and preparing the final batch of titles to be Greenlit.

A few months ago, Valve announced that they would be replacing Steam Greenlight with Steam Direct. Instead of having Steam users vote for games they wanted to see on Steam, developers will now submit their digital paperwork and pay a recoupable $100 USD fee to publish their game. Once a game sells more than $1,000, the fee is then returned to the developer. Any developer that has not worked with Valve before will also have to wait 30 days between paying the fee and releasing they game on Steam while Valve confirms the developers information. Steam Direct will be going live on June 13th.
