This morning, the 18th, it was announced that the battle royale game Fortnite will arrive on Android smartphones as soon as winter sets in. The announcement was made on the Epic Games website, by the game's team. In the post, they reveal some new features and changes made to the mobile game, such as a customizable HUD and the new voice chat function made especially for mobile.
The game has been on iOS since March of this year, and since then it has topped the free App Store charts, earning $15 million in in-app purchases in the first three weeks it arrived on the App Store alone.
The in-game voice feature is highlighted as quite important, which is why they are bringing it to the mobile device as well. "We know communication is key when you're participating in Victory Royale, so we're working to bring voice chat to mobile. Plus, you'll be able to chat with your teammates, regardless of platform!"
? Tip: See the minimum and recommended requirements to run Fortnite on PC.
According to the team, the choice of character, other players and the function of opening all communications with a single touch is being facilitated. An on-screen button will be added that will allow you to turn off, change all party members, or switch back to open mic.
In addition, the company is working on a few more features such as auto triggering and running, with better performance and a battery saver mode that ensures mobile gamers can access game stats.
Considering the size of the mobile installation, the team said they are working to reduce this and maintain performance at the same time. This will reduce the size of patches and add the ability to download content in the background. More information will come soon.
