Shroud breaks down why Fortnite isn\u2019t \u201cdying\u201d following the release of Apex Legends Fortnite\u2019s player base has been shaken a bit since Apex Legends exploded onto the scene on February 4. But Twitch star, shroud, doesn\u2019t think Epic Games\u2019 battle royale is down for the count. A fan of shroud suggested that Tfue was \u201cFortnite\u2019s last hope\u201d as it seems the FaZe Clan pro has been sticking with the game in the midst of the Apex Legends hype, but shroud seemed to disagree with the notion. Shroud thinks players haven\u2019t seen the end of Fortnite. Suggesting that, while it might not be popular right now, it\u2019s lasting appeal could keep it alive for a lot longer. Even though Apex Legends is enjoying a streak of beating out Epic Games\u2019 title in viewership on Twitch, shroud doesn\u2019t think that Fortnite\u2019s popularity is tied to the platform. \u201cI don\u2019t know about that one, I don\u2019t think Fortnite\u2019s going anywhere,\u201d shroud said in reply to his fan. \u201cI think Fortnite would\u2019ve been massive, honestly, without Twitch.\u201d (Timestamp at 0:15 for mobile viewers) Fortnite\u2019s battle royale released on September 2017, and has since seen many competitors rise and fall almost at every turn, which could be one reason why the former pro player thinks it still has a lot to give. Fortnite has outlasted numerous competitors from both sides of the battle royale competitive spectrum, such as the campy Realm Royale to the intense Black Ops 4: Blackout. Still, with Apex Legends seemingly hitting the happy medium between the gritty style of an epic shooter with the lighthearted appeal of its unique characters, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how Fortnite fairs in the long-term. Time will tell if Fortnite has enough in the tank to retake its top spot, but shroud believes that it will at least be a competitor for a good while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
