Muselk claims Epic is \u201credefining gaming\u201d with mega Fortnite Chapter 3 releases YouTube: Muselk \/ Epic GamesYouTube star Elliott \u2018Muselk\u2019 Watkins accelerated his gaming content empire thanks to Fortnite. Now in an exclusive interview with Dexerto, the Australian has praised Epic for \u201credefining the industry\u201d with their mega Fortnite releases which have continued in Chapter 3. Muselk has played his fair share of games on stream and for his wildly-successful YouTube channel. Boasting 10 million subscribers combined across his main and secondary channel, he has one of the biggest empires on the platform. While it was built on the foundation of Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch, the skyscraper shot up thanks to Fortnite. Four years on from the game\u2019s explosive rise and Muselk is still reaping the benefits with millions of views on each and every video he posts. With a quiet Chapter 2 all things considered, and Fortnite\u2019s player base slowly waning, Epic has managed to win players back in Fortnite Chapter 3, with Muselk telling Dexerto the developers have \u201credefined the industry\u201d. \u201cNew content and new features are always amazing, but Epic is doing a great job. I think it\u2019s impossible to be a developer of a game which is the size of Fortnite and not have people constantly criticize it,\u201d he said, talking about the Chapter 2 backlash. \u201cIf you look at how games were updated and run before Fortnite, Overwatch was considered to be a decent live-service model with their one update every 3-4 months, but Fortnite redefined the industry by pushing content out constantly. \u201cThey run fast, they break a few eggs, but it worked.\u201d It\u2019s not just been new weapons and cosmetics to keep the money rolling in. It\u2019s innovative new gameplay mechanics and features that keep players coming back. Each LTM, each little easter egg, it\u2019s a fun little mechanic to explore \u2014 just like the new Pizza Parties which Muselk played around with. For Muselk as a content creator, it also gives him a solid future in Fortnite. There\u2019s little need to worry about searching for the next hit game \u2014 although that\u2019s always on the star\u2019s mind. Instead, he can look for the small nuggets of content in each update that inspire a new video. \u201cThere\u2019s not a simple answer to [what new content makes it into a video] really because every new patch is different. There\u2019s some things where they add a new weapon and you get away with gameplay with that new weapon,\u201d he explained.

It gives you unique ways to build a totally new idea out of it. \u201cFor example, when they had Santa in the truck riding around the map, that was cool because that\u2019s an element in the game you could tinker around with \u2014 taking out Santa, dressing up as him and trolling players thinking you\u2019re the NPC, those kinds of things.\u201d It\u2019s those out of left-field ideas that keeps Muselk interested in Fortnite \u2014 both as a YouTube star and a player. While the star is always on the lookout for the next game, Fortnite is as healthy as it was back in 2017 in his eyes, and the future for Epic\u2019s battle royale is bright. \u201cObviously I love doing what I\u2019m doing, but I think it\u2019s hard because you\u2019re always on the lookout for cool new things you can make content with. The good thing with the games industry is you never know when that\u2019s going to come,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the next game is after Fortnite. I\u2019ve got games I\u2019m passionate about, like playing DOTA in my spare time, but the next game for content I can\u2019t really say.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
