Epic Games’ Fortnite, in case you haven’t heard, is the game that is currently dominating the globe with tens of millions of players on consoles, PC, and mobile, and now the ever-popular shooter is making its way to Nintendo Switch owners this year.

During the latest Nintendo Direct for E3 2018, the company officially announced that Fortnite will be heading to the Nintendo Switch from Epic Games, marking the latest edition of the massively popular shooter. In addition to the game’s reveal for Switch, we also got a confirmation that the game will be available on for the Switch.

The announcement itself shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise given that it’s been hinted at in numerous ways leading up to the actual reveal, but with today’s announcement, fans can expect to drop, build, and outlast their opponents to claim their Victory Royale.

However, even better is the fact that the game is now available to play for free on the Nintendo eShop, and will be available to play on the system today.

Fortnite will be released for Nintendo Switch on , and you can currently play the game on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, and iOS, while a forthcoming Android version is expected this summer. For a closer look at the game’s Nintendo Switch release, you can check out the debut trailer below.

A new installment in the Mario Party series usually isn’t the most exciting news, but as the first installment on Nintendo’s hand-held hybrid, there’s a lot that’s changed.

During Nintendo’s E3 Direct, Nintendo released a TV spot-esque trailer featuring four-player co-op between one and two systems, even showing minigame maps being altered by the physical placements of the consoles on a table.
