I stumbled upon something strange today while writing up a story about how the Fortnite cube crushed a building in Tilted Towers.

Looking up an image of Tilted Towers on Google brought up a listing for a real world address. But it wasn’t just any address; it was the site of One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower.

Last month, the giant rift in Fortnite’s sky closed, but not before it spat out a giant alien cube that’s stomping around the map. Players are eagerly tracking each new move, wondering what will happen when it finally stops. The cube’s latest route took it through Tilted Towers, where it destroyed what might just be Fortnite’s unluckiest building.

When Fortnite developers released the game’s notorious rocket launcher, surely they knew they had designed a fatal long-range weapon. Always crafty, Fortnite players quickly discovered something else about these rockets: They’re nifty ways to get around the map. As it turns out, they’d stumbled upon something Fortnite’s developers hadn’t planned for.

Earlier today, Epic released a new content update for Fortnite that, among other things, vaulted the game’s overpowered drum gun. Something else went missing though, at least for Switch players: the ability to use the system’s video capture while playing the game.

Ali “Myth” Kabbani is the second most-followed streamer on Twitch, but he’s also just a 19 year-old kid — one who, unlike most other 19 year-old kids, has to deal with boatloads of hate every day. Now he’s putting his foot down.

Fortnite’s newest limited-time mode, Getaway, feels a bit like a mini-crash course in everything you need to know if you want to win in the main battle royale.

The capture the flag-esque mode is full of dangerous drops and surprising turns of fortune. Matches are short but packed with new surprises. If you wanted something faster-paced than the main game, this is the mode for you.

Monopoly is a board game that regularly ends with you cursing out your family. In the upcoming Fortnite edition, which leaked earlier today and was later confirmed by Epic Games, at least you’ll be able to take them out until you’re the last one standing.

Yesterday, two Fortnite players tied for the 33rd qualifying spot in today’s Summer Skirmish grand finals: The_Real_Cryohme and SSG Colton. The 33rd slot wins a minimum of $US5000 ($6946) and the potential to win far more; today’s first prize winner will take home $US225,000 ($312,572). Only 33 players could advance to the final stage, though. Epic Games had to determine the true last-place finisher with a coin flip.

The three-day finals for Broadcaster Royale, a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournament featuring 80 duo teams of streamers from around the world, unfolds this weekend at PAX West’s Paramount Theatre. The matches started today at 4AM AEST, streaming on the Broadcaster Royale Twitch channel and also on each competitor’s individual Twitch channel.

Last week, the giant rift in Fortnite’s sky started spewing lightning until it finally dropped a glowing alien cube on the map. The cube has started moving and changing the landscape, encouraging players to sleuth out where it’s ultimately headed and what will happen when it gets there.

Look at ‘em go.

Fortnite not challenging enough for you? Some players upped the difficulty by adding a Ninja Warrior-esque obstacle course to the game.

I have yet to make it through the entire three minute fan movie currently playing on loop in the northeastern part of Fortnite's map without getting shot in the back, but that's part of the fun. The game's V5.30 patch hit recently, bringing new items and modes, as well as a working projector to Risky Reels, the game's drive-thru movie theatre.

Do you believe yourself to be the very best at surviving in an environment where a) everybody wants to kill you, and b) they’re all reality-bending architecture-mancers? Well, soon you’ll have a chance to prove it. Epic is finally adding a competitive mode to Fortnite this spring.

During Fornite Battle Royale’s last season, a giant rocket launched and cracked the sky wide open, tearing the game’s space-time apart. When Season Five hit — adding a new desert area to the map — the rift seemed to die down, but now it’s blasting the ground with massive lightning strikes.

Change.org signatures normally aren't worth the paper they're not printed on, but here's an example of one actually working: only weeks after a campaign to allow players to thank the game's bus driver, Fortnite now includes the ability to do just that.

I have avoided the depths of distraction that ensnare millions of people who download Fortnite. I don’t play much. But I do get the emails telling me people are trying to hack my account and have finally done something about it.

Sometimes, words aren't the best avenue for highlighting the scale of something.

Tokio, one of Japan’s most famous boy bands, experienced a shakeup this past autumn when member Tatsuya Yamaguchi was kicked out of the group, turning the five-member group into a foursome.
