Ninja and other streamers will create a new and ambitious Battle Royale within Fortnite

Perhaps they are no longer the sensation, but it is undeniable that Battle Royales are still very popular and profitable. What makes a game of this genre stand out and able to build a loyal community around it? It's hard to know, but it seems like a group of streamers believe they know the secret.

We're talking about TimTheTatMan, SypherPK, NICKMERCS, Ninja, and CouRage JD, five of the most successful and popular content creators on the internet. They are known, among other things, for playing Fortnite and other games of the genre in their live streams in front of thousands of viewers.

With all that experience backing them up, the streamers will join forces to create a new and ambitious Battle Royale. The most interesting part? They will use the Unreal Editor, i.e., Epic Games' official set of tools that allows designing and developing experiences for Fortnite in Unreal Engine 5. Thus, technically, they will make a Battle Royale inside another one.

Project V is the name of this new video game. Details are scarce, but it is known that Super Joy Studios, a company owned by content creator SypherPK and his wife Daniela Ali, is in charge of development.

Through a post on the official website, the responsible parties explained that this new experience will have custom weapons, a large-scale map, fluid movements, and unique mechanics. They claim to have "ambitious plans" and that they seek to create something truly special. It is expected to debut sometime in 2024.

"We are a group of friends, players and passionate content creators for Battle Royales. Since 2016, we have played every BR on the market, competed at the highest level, and collectively built an audience and community of over 140 million people. We know what makes a Battle Royale great," explained the streamers.

The next Battle Royale will be built by the players.

TimTheTatMan, SypherPK, NICKMERCS, Ninja, and CouRage JD explained on the website that the heart of Project V is the community. Thus, they invited all fans to follow their social media and subscribe to the newsletter to learn about the latest project updates and have the chance to share their feedback.

The Unreal Editor debuted in March. Immediately, it became a very popular platform among developers and designers who created all kinds of experiences for Fortnite's Creative Mode 2.0. Many designed games inspired by third-party franchises, but Epic Games warned that those who break copyright rules may be subject to reprimand.

But tell us, are you excited about this new project? Do you think it will be successful? Let us know in the comments.
