Gearbox Software Teams With Koch Media to Publish Fortnite in Europe

Retail version includes Founder's Pack and four day early access.

Epic Games’ long-delayed Fortnite won’t just be available through early access digitally next month. If you live in Europe, then you can pick up a physical copy of the game at retail.

That’s because Borderlands developer Gearbox Software and Koch Media have announced a partnership to publish the game in the territory for Xbox One, PS4 and PC when it launches. This will include the Founder’s Pack with loot, heroes, weapons and four day early access over the July 25th worldwide digital release.

Then again, if you pre-ordered the Deluxe, Super Deluxe or Limited Edition, then you can still get four day early access over everyone else. If you’re not willing to drop any money on the game now, then Fortnite will become free to play in 2018 (if you’re willing to wait that long).
