more!
Judd Zebersky, CEO, Jazwares

the Fortnite experience. This is more than just an
entertainment property with product; it's a global movement. Our
product line will push the boundaries of traditional toys, bringing
the digital world to physical product unlike anything fans have
ever seen. We are so excited to be going on this journey with Epic
Games."
Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic
Games added: "Jazwares have been so awesome to work with, and from
the start have shown that they really understand the Fortnite
universe and what makes it unique. They're working on stuff right
now that I think our players are really going to love. I can't wait
for them to see all of it later this year!"
Launching in December 2018, the
collection will be available for purchase at retailers around the
globe.
Fortnite is the action building game from Epic Games that lets
you drop into a massive 100-player PVP Battle Royale or team up
with friends in a co-op campaign to Save The World against a horde
of monsters. Craft and loot in giant worlds where no two games are
ever the same. Fortnite Battle Royale is free and available on PC,
Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, and soon, Android.
