This weekend at Rooster Teeth Expo 2017 in Austin, Texas, Epic Games premiered “A Hard Day’s Night,” a cinematic trailer that takes place in the universe of the studio’s upcoming action building title, Fortnite. Created in-house at Epic Games using Unreal Engine 4, the short gives fans a taste of the action players can expect when the game becomes available for players later this month.

“Bringing Fortnite to life has been a true labor of love by a talented and dedicated team over many years,” says Darren Sugg, Creative Director on Fortnite. “We’re excited to share the experience and start playing along with more gamers in Early Access this summer.”

In Fortnite, players team up to build massive forts and battle against hordes of monsters, all while crafting and looting within giant worlds where no two games are ever the same.

In case you missed it, Epic Games showed off Fortnite gameplay at E3 2017. Check it out.

The third-person action building game, will be available in paid Early Access for PlayStation®4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac starting on July 25. Shackers can pre-order or pre-register now on the official website at www.fortnite.com.
