Hasbro launches Clue in Fortnite: Classic board game reimagined
- Hasbro is collaborating with Epic Games to adapt classic board games into Fortnite experiences, beginning with a multiplayer game based on Clue.
- The adaptations are being developed by Look North World, a studio focused on creating games for creator platforms, with more games like Guess Who? and Connect Four planned for future release.
- This initiative reflects Epic's strategy to expand the Fortnite ecosystem, although the main Battle Royale mode continues to attract the majority of players.
In late 2023, Hasbro announced its collaboration with Epic Games to adapt classic board games into Fortnite experiences, starting with a multiplayer murder mystery game based on Clue. This adaptation is designed to engage players in a format reminiscent of popular games like Among Us, allowing for multiple rounds of gameplay. The development of these adaptations is being handled by Look North World, a studio founded by a former Bungie co-founder, which focuses on creating games for creator platforms. Following Clue, Hasbro plans to release versions of Guess Who? and Connect Four in the coming months. This initiative is part of Epic's broader strategy to expand the Fortnite ecosystem, which has already seen collaborations with brands like Lego. The Unreal Editor for Fortnite, launched in 2023, provides creators with enhanced tools to develop in-game experiences, further enriching the platform's offerings. Despite these new adaptations, the main Battle Royale mode continues to be the primary attraction for players, with ongoing collaborations, including a recent superhero season with Marvel.
