[E3 2017] Battle Zombies and Bases in ‘Fortnite’ on July 25th

Published

on

Another E3 trailer?! You don’t say? For those in the mood for a base-builder meets third-person shooter game with zombies (gotta have ’em!), People Can Fly and Epic Games’ Fortnite will hit consoles and PC on July 25th. And just in case you’re not convinced of the potential fun you could have, there’s that trailer.

The game has players tasked with building up their bases against hordes of zombies, with base designs varying in complexity and traps. There are several hero types with specific skills, as well as the focus on crafting a variety of weapons to fend off zombies. The art style obviously takes after Blizzard’s Overwatch, but then again, Overwatch took after Team Fortress 2 and its art style. Obviously, art style and gameplay are two entirely different things, but they factor into that fun thing. And with a base entry price of $39.99, it’s a tempting offer.

Pre-orders are available, with scaling levels of bonuses, depending on what you pay.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
