It seems like Fortnite will be parachuting onto the  Nintendo Switch .

The game was spotted on an E3 list leaked on 4chan and rated by a Korean board on Friday, as noted in a ResetEra post and reported by Eurogamer. 

Update, June 4: GameSpot reports that the game has been rated by South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee as well, adding more fuel to the fire.

Update, June 5: Console hacker SciresM claims that Nintendo has now leaked the existence of Fortnite for Switch as well, by pushing an update to the Nintendo eShop that lists the name of the game. Nintendo didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.
