Two weeks ago, Epic Games released Fortnite Season 8, bringing the Cosmic Cube and corruption back to the iconic battle royale\u2019s war-torn island battleground. The thematic Chapter 2 update is just one in a long line of story-driven changes Epic has been making to their flagship title over the past year, constantly bringing in new skins, enemies, and weapons \u2014 but, despite all that, claims Fortnite is \u201cdying\u201d still continue to circle the now five-year-old battle royale. According to Loserfruit, those claims are totally wrong. The Twitch star, who joined Lachlan\u2019s PWR org recently, explained to Dexerto why she believes Fortnite is actually heading the other way, towards its next peak. Loserfruit spoke to Dexerto in late October, following her Team PWR move, and weighed in on the future of Fortnite, and why claims the game is \u201cdying\u201d are wrong. \u201cI think we\u2019re in a waiting time with Fortnite now where the game is about to have its next really big peak. When that happens, I think people will stop thinking they\u2019re edgy by saying it\u2019s dead,\u201d she said. \u201cThe state of Fortnite is the best it\u2019s ever been.\u201d The main reason why, Loserfruit said, is all the features and focus Epic has loaded into Fortnite in the past few seasons. The Twitch streamer explained: \u201cThey\u2019ve put more ability to travel across the map fast, there are all-new funny items, and on a balance standpoint, it\u2019s the best and most enjoyable it\u2019s ever been. She would like to see more ranked Fortnite modes added to the game to make grinding a little more interesting, she added, but overall it\u2019s in a \u201creally good place.\u201d Loserfruit has a vested interest in the longevity of Fortnite, of course, but her faith in the game also comes from a place of love \u2014 many of her favorite memories as a streamer come from Epic\u2019s flagship title, she admits, from her growing fandom to duoing with Grefg, and getting a skin in the game. \u201cFortnite has been my main focus for the past four years,\u201d she said. \u201c[There\u2019ve been plenty of] memorable moments, including my skin, and Spanish fans from Grefg. \u201cI\u2019ve explored other horizons, away from Fortnite, but that\u2019s mainly streaming more than YouTube videos. Rocket League, GTA, Fall Guys, Minecraft, I love those games, but Fortnite is always on my horizon, and I don\u2019t see that changing.\u201d Read More: Fortnite update 18.30 patch notes &#8211; The modern gaming landscape won\u2019t change, she added, with juggernauts like Warzone, League, and Fortnite \u201chere to stay, constantly evolving with the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loserfruit laughs off claims Fortnite is dying: \u201cIt\u2019s just about to peak again\u201d Epic Games \/ Twitch: LoserfruitKathleen \u2018Loserfruit\u2019 Belsten has laughed off suggestions Fortnite is \u201ceven close to dying\u201d in the near future, and has even claimed the Epic Games juggernaut\u2019s best is still yet to come in an exclusive Dexerto interview.
