The über popular first-person shooter, Fortnite removes its guns in a new party mode.

Now, normally I would never talk about a game like Fortnite, all shooting with very little heart. However, in a recent turn of events, Fortnite has removed its guns in favor of a more chill mode that allows players to party with each other, without having to worry about getting killed.

The new game mode, Party Royale, was spawned, no doubt, due to the success of the recent in-game concerts that have been appearing in the game. The most recent event, a Travis Scott concert, saw millions of viewers during the short time that it aired.

Why Party Royale?

The popularity of the Travis Scott concert is no doubt at least partially responsible for the new non-violent game mode. Fortnite is a free to play game, and includes the new Party Royale mode, so all who wish to check it out can do so rather easily, given that you have access to one of the many platforms on which Fortnite is currently available.

What? When? Where?

Party Royale is kicking off in full swing tomorrow, and will feature an event called the Party Royale Premiere, which will include performances from some of the worlds most renown electronic dance music artists, like Dillon Francis, Steve Aoki and Deadmau5. The event will be Friday, May 8 at 9 p.m. ET.

It is pretty cool to see a game like Fortnite create a mode that is more suitable for all gamers, including people like myself who aren’t so much into the aggression and adrenal overload that sometimes comes with FPS games. I do have friends that play Fortnite, and I could totally see checking out this event with them in the game that they love so much.
