Overview
Save the World
Save the World takes place in a world where The Storm, an entity, has wiped out 98% of the population and spawns in Husks and Mist Monsters to attack the living. Homebase recruits you, the Commander to lead heroes into battle and expand the Storm Shield to take back our world from the Storm. Build giant forts, and/or fight hordes of monsters through various missions. Craft weapons, train heroes and survivors, and level them up to fight harder and more challenging Monsters.
Progress through the 3-Zone Campaign and various Limited Time Missions and Questlines every season. Perk your weapons to your liking and complete quests to earn banners that show off your hard work.
Save the World is available on Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Development
Fortnite was announced as Save the World at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards. The first concept of Fortnite was during a Game Jam and would be a horror survival game. Fortnite, at the time was described as «a world where you explore, you scavenge, you build and ultimately you survive.»
Due to several issues and delays with development, Epic Games director Rod Fergusson was considering cancelling Fortnite. Fergusson left Epic Games in 2012 and development continued on Fortnite.
When development began, Fortnite was being built on the Unreal Engine 3 as it would transition to UE4 when Early Access began. In late 2014, the first round of Save the World’s Alpha began. The Alpha showed 4 players navigating through an Open-World Scenario, scavenging for resources by breaking down various object such as trees, rocks, construction sites, etc. Eventually, players would have to use the materials they have gathered to fortify the objective, which at the time, was just an ATLAS (since different mission types didn’t exist back then.) As they days progressed, the world would increase in difficulty. Not much is known about the Alpha.
As development progressed, more heroes and features were added. The conceptual idea of gathering resources in the environment and building a fort to combat the husk pathing remained the same, with new weapons and tools to help players combat the husks.
On July 21th, 2017, Fortnite released in «Head Start Access» only to players who had previously pre-ordered a Founder’s Pack or received one from an invite through a friend. The game later released on July 25th, 2017 as an Early Access game to players that didn’t pre-order. A Campaign was added to the game and it got a major UI overhaul for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The idea of lootboxes were added as Llama Piñatas could give random resources. More missions were added and expanded on as well, as Epic continued to experiment and add new ideas such as Weapon Perks and the Hero Loadout Update in Season 8.
After the release of Fortnite Save The World, a side project started for a separate Battle Royale mode. On September 12th, 2017, Fortnite: Battle Royale was released for public testing to players who had purchased a Founder’s Pack for Save the World. On September 26th, 2017 Battle Royale was released as a free-to-play game, and the first official season started on October 25, 2017. The release of Battle Royale was a critical success and Fortnite went on to be one the most popular video games, with development of the original game mode Save the World eventually slowing down due to the decrease in popularity opposed to the other mode.
