Take the tour through Fortnite's E3 booth
I took a trip through the mega popular Fortnite game booth at E3. For the folks who aren't familiar, Fortnite is an online battle royale style game where up to one hundred people slug it out at once, trying to survive to be the last one standing.
Overview of booth
One of the largest booths at E3 this year, Fortnite shows no signs of slowing down. As an investment in esports, Epic Games plans on providing $100 million dollars in prize money for competitions in 2018-2019.
