Fortnite was almost cancelled

  • 1831

From a recent intreview with gameinformer, we learnt that Rod Fergusson (who was the production lead at Epic Games at that time) would have cancelled Fortnite if he had stayed at Epic. In the video Rod talks a bit about his time at Epic and why he tried to cancel the game when it was still only Save the World: “If I had stayed at Epic I would have cancelled Fortnite. Before I left I had tried to cancel Fortnite. When it was Save the World that was a project that just had some challenges and as a director of production at the time that game would not have passed my bar for something we should continue to keep going.” So the game would've not existed if Rod Fergusson had stayed at Epic.

That would have been great for the PC gaming community. "Epic Store Exclusive" happened because of Fortnite.
