Epic Games’ Fortnite Still in Development, Paragon Releasing First

Development "moving ahead full-speed" according to Tim Sweeney.

We didn’t hear much about Epic Games’ long-in-development tower defense/sandbox game Fortnite at GDC this year. But it still seems to be in development according to CEO Tim Sweeney, even if the focus is on Paragon, the third person action MOBA that recently entered early access.

Speaking to Game Informer, Sweeney said that, “We figure we should start with one major successful launch and do one at a time. Fortnite will be next.”

Though Fortnite is “moving ahead full-speed,” there are still a number of things to work out. “It’s a game with awesome and complex RPG-type systems, and a really interesting meta game around it. It’s a game that takes time to get right. It remains a huge priority for Epic, and expect more news to come out over time.”

All of this sounds great but honestly at this rate, we’ll believe it when we get our hands on it. What are your thoughts on Fortnite and Paragon? Let us know in the comments below.
