Fortnite was about to be canceled before its launch

Fortnite is one of the most popular games today, although the Epic Games game did not have a smooth start. Since this game did not always generate such good feelings within the company. In fact, before its launch it was close to being canceled. Something that finally did not happen, luckily for the study, since it is his biggest success so far.

Fortnite was about to be canceled

Rod Fergusson, former producer of Epic Games has been commissioned to reveal this story, which shows that the company did not have much confidence in this game.

Epic Games saw no possibilities

As he has commented, he had the intention to cancel Fortnite, something that finally did not happen because Fergusson left the company. Therefore, he did not have time to finalize the cancellation of the game. Although in the dates in which he left the company, there was only the modality of saving the world in the game, so it was in a fairly early phase, which was far from being the option that we know today.

But he has commented that if he had stayed at Epic Games he would have canceled the game. Since I did not see possibilities or thought that it would be successful in the market. An interesting and curious mistake that just due to its departure it would not be canceled.

Something that Epic Games is sure is satisfied with today. Since Fortnite is one of the great successes on the market, on all platforms. So if canceled, the firm's biggest success in years would have been lost.
